bell 11 #32 Posted August 24, 2010 Wow, I looked at this one a year or two ago... It was sitting in front of a little store in Manhattan (near greencastle) along with a green one of some sorts... Looked pretty decent, but I walked away when he told me $500.... Small world though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,488 #36 Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah Cody let us have an update! I passed you on 231 when you were headed north with this thing in your pickup truck!! I was coming south with a load of wheel horse parts in the trunk of my car! That was a pretty good $100 purchase. :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boatman 3 #41 Posted April 22, 2011 :thumbs: I have a 416-8 that I converted to hydraulic lift. I used the hydraulic cylinder from wheelhorse and bought an electric hydraulic pump from some other model tractor and just ran hydraulic lines direct to pump. The pump is reversable and works great with just the flip of a switch. The pump fit real nice between the motor and the battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
