Bunky Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I have a 3212H that I want to take the hyrda-lift off but I don't really want to disassemble half the tractor... is there a way of taking it of with out pulling the dash etc.????
Kent Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Nope... you must remove the dash to remove the pin on the rear end of the hydraulic ram. Unless you plan on putting it right back on the same tractor, you'll also want to remove the bracket that holds that end of the hydraulic ram -- it's bolted onto the top two bolts that hold the BGB in... Don't let that bracket get away, since they're almost impossible to find by themselves!
Bunky Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 Ok Thanks.. thats what I thought.. I want to take it off so I can use it on another tractor and maybe sell the Rest of the tractor... or maybe convert it into a HB-112
Bunky Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 Well I got it off, Wasn't as bad as I thought it... Just one more question... Is the lift shaft that the cylinder hooks too different from a Hydra-lift then a manual lift??? The one on the 3212H was short on the left side where as the one on my B112 sticks out so you would be able to put on a manual lift rod......
Kent Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Other than the length of the shaft, there's no difference that I know of.... The factory-installed hydrolifts used a shorter lift shaft, that did not stick out past the frame on the left side of the tractor. However, these lifts were also dealer-installed as kit options, and they just left the long lift shaft in there... the kit did not include a new, shorter shaft.
