Sunstar owners "HELP"

[PeppyDan]

Does any Sunstar owners out there have good pics of a rear lift setup. I would like to make one to use for a plow and disc using a lift from a 416 I have. Close-ups and maybe dimensions would be a big help! If you have one you would consider selling, I may be interested also! Thanks, Dan

Parts are still available. See sunstar attachments parts pdf

These are all substantial parts.

Which components are you interested in. I have one in a box that I could bring Saturday. Not for sale , though.

[PeppyDan]

I would be interested in the main components such as the main lift shaft assy (item 8), the hitch bracket assy(item 20), and the lift rod assy(item 24). Carl, that would be great if you could bring it Saturday. Thanks, Dan

The following thread provides details on the sleeve hitch. http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=68729

I was able to find this, but is it the correct lift for a plow or disc? The upper lift appears to be offset from center!

Thanks, Dan

That is the ONLY lift for a SunStar. It is intended for use with the 38" SunStar tiller. The top lift point is offset to allow for the PTO shaft which runs along the centerline of the tractor. I am planning to add a center lift point so I can use a plow on my SunStar.

Note Hitch attachment is offset too. I don't think a center lift point is necessary.

Thanks Carl and Ambler. That clears it up alot about the tiller pto and the hitch offset. I kinda thought maybe the hitch was also offset but didn't know for sure and didn't even give the pto shaft a thought for the offset of the lift shaft. I see an arm on the left side of the lift shaft in the pic, what is that used for? Dan

There's a hole for the hitch link in the plate.
