Gabe 32 #1 Posted December 4 Can someone tell me the correct measurement from the center of the top hole that attaches to the triangle on the frame to the center of the bottom hole for the rod, the one I have was cut off, so I’m unable to attach the rod, any advice is appreciated. I have 1/4”. Flat bar to weld the extension 78658322934__48619B84-BD31-4CF4-A483-E951B9A54A84.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 43,712 #2 Posted December 4 (edited) Mine is on 7.75" centers, and the triangle does not connect to the lever. It has its own support bar. Edited December 4 by Ed Kennell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe 32 #3 Posted December 4 Yes you are correct, I didn’t know how to explain that, but the lever looks identical, thank you! 🫡🇺🇸 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe 32 #4 Posted December 5 My attachment points where the hanger attaches to the triangle is slanted to the right it is not 90 degree position, is this normal? I used it like this before I found the rod that swivels the blade, so at that time I did not know the lever was short until this year lol, I used to use snow or get out to move the blade left or right. Appreciate the reply a photo👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 43,712 #5 Posted December 5 That looks correct. Mine is also slanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe 32 #6 Posted December 5 Awesome, looks like that top mount is threaded, I never had the correct threaded bolt, just a smaller one that slid thru and had a nut ago keep it in place, couldn’t find the bolt size to thread count, but I manage with it the other way.. I have some chains sittting in vinegar lol to get red of the rust, then I’ll probably have to cut them, my tires are 22/7.5/12 thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 43,712 #7 Posted December 5 (edited) That should be a 1/2-13 thread. Edited December 5 by Ed Kennell 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 10,548 #10 Posted December 5 45 minutes ago, Ed Kennell said: That should be a 1/2-13 thread. Use a 1/2-13 full threaded hex bolt long enough to have 4 to 6 threads protruding out the back to allow the use of a jam nut. That way, set the handle gap and tighten the jam nut to hold the adjustment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 43,712 #11 Posted December 5 To get my levers to clear the foot rest and motion control foot pedals I usually have to add spacers and on some I turn the levers backwards. I do have some custom set ups. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlineman 1,586 #12 Posted December 5 might want to put a flat washer between moving parts for ease of movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,552 #13 Posted December 5 @Gabe that lever swing point is vital to entire function , have referred to a SHOULDER BOLT , unthreaded movement connection , that way the lever is swinging on a smooth surface , not on threading . have added flat washers , to DIAL IN , SMOOTH EASY FUNCTION ,also done that with a regular nut ? allowing perfect easy lubricate swing , then switch out the regular nut , for an elastic Lok nut , holding perfect swing ease setting , found that to be the perfect setting swing / hold point . done a lot of linkage experimentation , initial set up was , production line , couple of minutes , of insurance , makes a world of difference . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
