boatman 3 #1 Posted January 30, 2010 :banghead: SUBJECT: REAR HITCHES ON C SERIES OR 300, 400 SERIES 8 SPPEED HAS ANYONE DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THESE TO MAKE THEM EITHER HYDRAULIC OR ELECTRICLY RAISED? TILLERS AND MOLDBOARD PLOWS ARE REALLY HEAVY TO LIFT WITH MANUEL LEVER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #2 Posted January 30, 2010 Some tractors had elect. lift from the factory, I think it was the 400/500 series tractors but could be had on the older tractors just not very common, it can be added just the factory stuff is bringing big money when you find it. i'm sure with a little work you could add a hyd pump to run a hyd. lift cyl.

mrocket49 23 #3 Posted January 30, 2010 I installed the electric lift on my C-125 and it lifts the rear tiller and snowblower attachements just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickv1957 74 #4 Posted January 31, 2010 The electric lifts are pretty rare for sure,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtmoyer 1 #5 Posted January 31, 2010 i like the electric, but it is slow. i was thinking about taking it of the 417 and adding it on the 520 just to have an independent rear hitch. that way i could have the snow blower on the front and a blade on the back. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 558 #6 Posted January 31, 2010 Does anyone have a source for a comparable electric motor (Linear Actuator) similar to the original? I've been trying to locate a source for one, but have no idea of the original actuators specifications. The spec's needed would be: * Voltage: 12 VDC * Stroke in inches * Retracted length in inches * Max load capacity in Lbs. * Max static capacity in Lbs. * Speed @ max load Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikesRJ 558 #9 Posted February 5, 2010 I can get some info as I have an electric lift on a 68 Raider 12,Rick that would be great Rick. Let me know what you come up with and I will try to spec. an aftermarket cylinder. Any of the following you can get off one you have would be helpful. The spec's needed would be: * Voltage (known): 12 VDC * Stroke in inches (shaft length extended) * Retracted length in inches (overall length pin-joint to pin-joint retracted) * Max load capacity in Lbs. (on the label perhaps) * Max static capacity in Lbs. (on the label perhaps) * Speed @ max load (on the label perhaps) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
