Moparfanforever 897 #1 Posted 16 hours ago Thinking about putting a blade on my 702,but unless there is something I don't know about, the height adjuster is either up or down, nothing in between. I would like to put a dial a height on it. Is the only way to do that is to use a dash stand from a 1963 or 1964 tractor?? Or will that even work??? Thanks!!!!

ML3 2,052 #2 Posted 16 hours ago My 702 has the lift/height adjuster. I dont have a better/closer pic unfortunately. I just assumed it was original to the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 897 #3 Posted 15 hours ago I can take a pic later, but the part on mine just has a slot at the top and bottom. I bought this as a roller and no lift, I think it hydraulic lift on it. Would that make a difference?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,576 #4 Posted 15 hours ago That would have had a HY-2 lift. It replaces the manual lift arm & bell crank... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,576 #5 Posted 15 hours ago The 1963 and later Dial-a-height mechanism has a different bolt pattern than the 2-position style on the 702. Perhaps you have a 753 hood stand??? I also see the horizontal bolt on the hood stand at the bottom. A 702 would not have that - it used the rod-thru-the-sleeve PITA 1961-1962 design. The lift rod mount got redesigned for 1963. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sqrlgtr 1,338 #6 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) My 701 just has a 2 position up/down notch. I always thought about milling out a few more notches to have a little adjust for up and down just hadn't done cause all I really do with it putt around or maybe pull cart around. Pic below you may have to blow it up to see it. Edited 14 hours ago by sqrlgtr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ML3 2,052 #7 Posted 14 hours ago (edited) I have no idea. I dont believe the hood stand has been changed & if it was it happened long time ago cause all the weathering/patina matches?? The lower hood bolt is some kinda replacement. It does thread in like the bottom of hood on my 654. Im certainly no expert & guess I cant complain cause after all it was free!

ri702bill 10,576 #8 Posted 13 hours ago Nice original looking 701 you have there. Does it still have the Showerhead Muffler?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 897 #9 Posted 13 hours ago Picture of what is on mine. I bought this piece and the two piece lift arm with the roll pin. @ri702bill Horizontal bolt on the hood stand?? Not sure what you are talking about. Not sure if it has a 753 hood stand. It was like this when I got . Soooo,what would be the best way to put a dial a height on it?? Different hood stand i presume?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,576 #10 Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I was talking about @ML3's tractor. But, since you need a manual lift anyway, going to a 753, 754, or 854 hood stand gets you the correct Dial-a-Height gizmo and the easy to install / remove lift handle. (the earlier ones are a PITA to remove - about as bad as a 50 year old steering wheel). I no longer plow with my FIL's 702 because I need to pick up the blade to skim over the grass - the 854 - no issue, super easy.

sqrlgtr 1,338 #11 Posted 12 hours ago @ri702bill it has one but not original but is a Kohler. @Moparfanforever that is the way my 701 is and I do belive they went with the dial in 63. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 897 #12 Posted 10 hours ago You would think WH would have a way to adjust the height on your implements with the tractors equipped with that style lift, especially for a front blade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
