Nice work. I am envious, don't have enough space in shed for my implements. Keep them under tarp. Fingers crossed for building a barn/garage next year,

Was able to reach lever with open back window on my tiptoes. I'll rig up a stick with a loop at the end there to reach it more comfortably. Thanks for idea.

Top link extender done and installed. Now on to the next challenge. Always something interesting when it comes to running the tractor.

Love the "appease the gods" trick. I work in hospitals and we never say the "Q" word when there are less bust moments. The Q word is the opposite of loud or busy. I won't even mention it here, lol.

LOL AM. You are obviously an exceptional individual!

Sounds nice. Is October a decent time to visit outer banks? We've got a week coming. Wife mentioned there as a possible destination.

Shoreline on ocean to the east, White mountains to the north, Canadian border farther north, lakes, forests. Every state has its beautiful highlights. What do you like best in NC?

Sorry to hear that's how your kindness was repayed. I have a neighbor who consistently asks to borrow my excavator. I feel uncomfortable saying no as I like to be helpful but your story confirms my concerns. I do offer to operate it for him when I have the time. Good luck sir.

No worries Dusty. I'm used to sarcasm... I'm married. Best...

Lol NCL. Can we work out a trade?

Was meant to be a humourous, tongue in cheek account of the small irritations inevitable in everyday life. Was smiling while I wrote it. Guess I'm not going to make a living as a comedian. Agree with your assessment of NH folks. Independent, neighborly and always willing to lend a hand. I moved...

Why is it that every glove in my cab is right-handed? Why is it that when I drop a rachet socket, it rolls in the drainage grate 3 feet away? Why is it that I put the ladder away and then see the one screw I didn't drive in? Why is it that I go to TSC or Home Depot for one item, come back with...

Guess I need to be more careful. You don't miss a thing Runs, LOL. I'll sleep better now knowing that you are keeping me in line.

Thanks Dan. Will have e a look.

Thanks Jyoutz. Tried TSC. This pin is not available there. It's the pin that holds the hydraulic top link to the tractor. It has to be short to fit between the lower 3pt lift cylinders and still make it through the bracket. The pins at TSC are too long. In fact, the parts department at dealer...

Eureka! Got the top link extension from the welder just in time for weekend. Great folks and quality work. Checked it out for fit and it does the trick. The top link now easily reaches my implements and allows me tip back the box blade. Need a few pins from the dealer but a success. Flap disced...

Thanks NCL. Your advice and knowledge are invaluable. Lining up the top link is the lesser of my issues. I'll give up on the float and can just live with adjusting from cab. Getting the top link "long enough" is the real issue. After all the tips I've received here, I've boiled it down to two...

Seems like a winning idea. Would this work with a cab? Perhaps through the open rear window? Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks NCL. I had one rear remote when I got the tractor and one had to be added to install the top and tilt. I was not asked about float and I did not know enough to request it. My only reason for wanting float is to be able to manually pull/push the top link cylinder to hook up implements...

Ok, so..... did the detent position on lever 2. BB immediately tilts up on cylinder side and the rest of the hydraulics won't work. Move lever to center position and all hydraulics are functional. So by NCL's description, it looks like I have a "full flow" valve and not a float. I will confim...
