Got my blade on my 416-H

[RED-Z06 2,369]

A couple weeks ago, i think i got the linkage right under it, is there a solid link to attach the rockshaft to the lift arm so it will have downpressure?

 

I think im going to drill a higher hole for more lift in the silver link bar too.

The solid link goes from the rock shaft directly to the A-frame.

You can easily remove the mower lift arm, short link and chain for extra clearance.

Mine isnt long enough for that, ill have to try and find the length of the right one.

I apparently have the short link for floating, Ill make a long link.

This is the SOLID LINK bar from my C-160 Auto.  I took out the 'T' deck lift arm, but didn't really need to do that.  This bar connects to the ROCK SHAFT directly to the A-frame on

You can also put the solid link in the oval hole on the A frame, it helps give it a little float with a hydro lift...

Adjusting the blade height with a solid link and no hydraulic float can be tricky and lead to faster wear on the plow edge. It can also cause unexpected grabs on every bump, patch, and crack in the plowed surface or gouges when a front wheel hits a dip.

RedZ are we expecting more snow?

Yeah, my Deere blade does that too, its annoying but, im limited on this one because i can't add weight to make it more useful due to manual steering, and just skipping along it pretty useless, ive got power, grip.

 

Its annoying how the spool valve has no creep, its either open or closed basically

When I added front remotes off an Eaton 1100, I used a JD 425 two-spool valve--one has float and both can be “finessed.” Also, the single-spool valve from the GT-14 has float. Neither has built-in pressure relief, though.

Yeah, the pressure relief on the K91 was on top of the charge pump between the roll valves, they ran at a higher pressure, around 1025psi up to 1500psi.

 

Its frustrating when you just want to drop the blade a little and you push the arm..you hear the valve squealing..push it more...more squealing...little more...on the ground.

Part of this is because of its relatively small cylinder with a movement-amplifying linkage plus it is retracting on drop (which means even small changes in volume have a big effect on the implement movement). WH (IMHO) was focusing on “up and down”, not the in-between!

This function?  Its smooth.
