Tractorman810 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 All the ones I have seen for real have all been fitted with weights not a linkage , wouldn't have known you swapped the lower arms, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I didn't realise you'd changed it either. Thought you had just let it drop down a bit. That is going to be much better now for attaching implements. Are we going to see a demount sprayer from you next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Also got the loader frame sorted , had to strengthen the chassis mount with a brass rod, at the moment this is as high as it will go,I bought cheap magnetic tool as my usual ones weren't on eBay,and sadly I can not adjust the internals like I normally do, so I am hunting down my usual supply's , they have a lot better copper I fills, so can be cut down better , last job was to level and screw fit the floor pan on the 6600 , ,this just need a top link fitted,along with the cab floor finished properly with he hump, plan is to spray the bonnet and loader at the same time, I have also considered putting larger rears on the 66 back end, ,also needs custom made steps as the planned britains ones are to wide and do not fit to the floor pan properly 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Already know what I want Martin, just none on eBay at present, the ones I usually use have a lot thicker,stronger internal copper stops, allows me to cut them shorter without mis shaping and weakening the grip they have to hold the arms up, aye have a WA o use the current ones, will try tomorrow if I get time, it's amazing how 5-10 MM. off makes a difference on the overall angles you get at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Those step are 10mm wide by 7mm at there deepest Sean, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
