FW Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi, was it quite a big job converting the linkage? How did you stick the linkage on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Hi, was it quite a big job converting the linkage? How did you stick the linkage on? Pretty easy, 1/2 hour from start to finish. I've used araldite to stick it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Here's what I removed from the rear if anyone is thinking of doing one; just to check to the right of what you took off does that have to come off as well paul i want to put a rear linkage on my new challenger 765b want to check before i start cutting paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 any spare jd 8430 tracks? paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Paul, Yes you need to remove the old hitch from the underside, the rear likage arms and the small plastic cover that represents the pto, from memory you will need to remove the small lug from the siku hitch too. I have some tracks but non spare at the moment. I'll keep an eye on this topic so if you have any problems when you do the conversion just post on here and i'll try and help.

Paul Palmer Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 jc the norscot challenger 765b turned up today i have decided not to replace the rear linkage its very accurate and as i specifically bought this model to tow a britains simba and simba conversion double press what i will do is drill down through the clevis take out the moulded draw pin and make up my own drawbar pin i will let you know how i get on cheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
