ol550 830 #2 Posted October 25, 2015 Nice gift. and as for the lift link you can use a length of chain unless you need down pressure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jt269 10 #3 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Good idea on the chain, I was going to use some flat plate, drill some holes in it and bolt it. Darn thing broke so I moved it down a few holes and welded the coller on to get the job finished! My grandpa took good care of her, put a custom exhaust on because she smokes lol so far I like it! What the most weight they can pull with out breaking stuff? I have 2.5 acres she works on. Edited October 25, 2015 by Jt269 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 39,363 #4 Posted October 26, 2015 What the most weight they can pull with out breaking stuff? No real answer to this...too many variables. In general you will lose traction and spin the wheels or the tractor will flip over backwards before you could break anything in the drive train. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jt269 10 #7 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Good to hear that the driveline is solid shes going to be dragging all kinds of things. Whats this I read about filling tires? Edited October 26, 2015 by Jt269 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,263 #8 Posted October 26, 2015 Welcome and nice pics of dozing! Filling the tires is a wise decision for added traction and stability. There are all kinds of ways to do it, I filled my little portable pig with fluid then pressurized it with air. when I hit the Schrader valve and the tank tipped on it's side it forced the fluid into the tube. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
