Anyone own a New Holland LX865 turbo?

I also see there is a way to tilt the cab forward once the arms are UP

from what I see NH requires a special jack and stop support... so it doesn't go 'azz over teakettle'

I'm sure I could fabricate something if needed in the future ... sure would be easier if the cab was forward...
but for now first thing is to get it to run.

Lifting the boom without any attachments shouldn't require all that much lifting power. As for raising the boom with auxiliary power, my guess there is it would take more work and make about as much mess. It would require climbing into the cab, interrupting lines to and from the main control valve or removing the lines from the valve to the boom lift cylinders and plugging into them with extension hoses to reach your power unit. I guess you could go that route if you choose to.
