BX24 and Cyclone Rake

[asgard]

Following on from the drawbar extension and forgetting that the Cyclone has a set of caster wheels and need a rigid bar mount I have taken some pictures of a unit I made to stop my stone rake slewing from side to side.

I just constructed a triangle to attach to the unit, then where it mounted I used some angle steel to form a left and right stop. I could have made it exact size of the pin attachment but that meant cutting and rewelding so I went with what I had to hand.
Items of the total assembly shown.

Hope this is of some use.

Those are the two links I want to remove from the hydraulic lift arms and replace with slightly longer arms that go to the upper 3pt stow brackets. That's what I was asking if was available aftermarket.

You're accomplishing the same thing I want to, just differently.

So anybody know if there are adjustable arms I could use on the market?

If not, I'll probably mouse a pair.......

I came up with a solution by fabrication of two links that bypass the 3 pt hitch lift arms. I wanted to have my mower deck able to lift independently from the 3 pt. I keep my Cyclone Rake running at the idle setting when dumping and was concerned if it was lifted up, the oil in the engine would leave the crankshaft bare and possibly seize up.

I found some clevis brackets at a hot rod chassis shop and got some 5/8" rod from Home Depot. Added some shim washers on the upper bracket to keep it centered,

I bought the 3 pt off e-bay for $69 from a company called Titan. Free shipping too.



I just added a set of 2 1/2" spacers on the rear wheels from that shop in Canada. Nice workmanship.
