perry 82 #1 Posted February 9, 2008 do the old hydro lifts have down pressure ?. or a free floating spot?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #2 Posted February 9, 2008 They do not have a float position, Perry -- but they do have down pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,129 #3 Posted February 9, 2008 Enough down pressure to lift the tractor I might add. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illinilefttackle 399 #4 Posted February 9, 2008 do the old hydro lifts have down pressure ?. or a free floating spot?. Perry- My C-125 Hydro lift has a chain from the bellcrank arm to the lift arm-this allows "FLOAT" of the plow or the deck. If you have a solid piece between these places, you have down pressure, but no float- That's probably as clear as mud-Sorry-AL :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "T" bar ("lower lift arm") on your C-125 wasn't used on pre-1973 tractors. (#27 on this IPL): All mid-mount attachments on the earlier tractors were lifted and lowered via a solid link or rod.

If I wanted down force-the I could make a solid piece to replace the chain-like for pushing gravel or dirt-right?_AL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,129 #8 Posted February 9, 2008 Yes, in fact they used to sell a which would link the bell crank to the lift for a plow for down pressure. Making one would work just as well I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #9 Posted February 10, 2008 In some cases, the solid link would need bent a little to clear the steering support. (sort of like a shallow boomerang ) The 7-1722 cultivator set like on my tricycle tractor requires a curved lift link on the front section. The OEM P/N for the curved link was 5581 but it's NLA -- so I made my own out of 3/16" X 1" strap steel. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,350 #10 Posted February 10, 2008 Okay, what's the dimension of this solid link if someone wanted to make one. My C141 has hydraulic lift but no down pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,350 #12 Posted February 10, 2008 Terry, Excellent instructions. First I need to get the engine rebuilt and get the old C going again. But, I might just fabricate that link and put it on my C141. Thanks. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tviggiano 1 #15 Posted November 26, 2014 Hi. I just bought a 1989 520h and am attaching the snow blade for the first time. My tractor has the rear axle attachment brackets. That seemed straight forward. My question may be a silly one but the only other attachment point is to the Tbar shown in the diagram above (I put mine into the hole labeled "snow/grader blade" near part 24)...right? Also, can the force of pushing the snow around damage/bend the Tbar that is used to lift the deck too? Lastly, when in lifted position the bottom edge of my blade is only a few inches off the ground....is that correct, or should it lift higher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callen 64 #16 Posted November 26, 2014 If you follow the chain to the belle crank, you will find the extra holes for more lift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
