if you are installing a loader on it you really won't need the dial a height, unless you take the loader off

And the subframe. Dial a height is mostly used for a mower deck. Or are we missing something?

That's pretty much all you need. You will need the correct shiftier plate and dash plate also, are you can cut the notches in the originals. I just finished doing my 312-8, pretty simple as the mounting holes are already there. richmondred01 probably has the plates, any 400 or 300 series with the dial o height should fit, if not A-Z tractors has them.

My Work Horse didn't have one. Found one on eBay, $20.

Easy enough to install but, had to notch both dash panels.

I don't recall ever using it to adjust my mower deck, although I reckon you could.  I do use it to set my dozer blade height when pushing snow on a gravel drive.

Have you tried making skid shoes? Kind of "set it and for get it" plus it follows the contours of the ground better ..

Now that's a handy item! Much easier to level the ground with grader blade than dragging the loader bucket.

How about sharing some pics of your stuff?

No sir, I also have concrete and asphalt to clear of snow also.  Those would be great for gravel only I suppose. :)
