Anyone interested,I mader my own lock up kit.:thumbup1gif:
I used a piece of 1/2" thick x 1-1/4 wide with 1/2" holes spaced 8-5/16".
I angle cut the bottom to match the lower bracket position when raised.
I needed to remove the left and right hand bottom brackets,and drill them out to 1/2". The top frame holes are fine,but these were just slightly under for some reason.
I'll take some pics when I get them installed.
I checked them out and they're GTG.
I had to enlarge the holes in the bars from 1/2" to 9/16", and I didn't need that much of an angle either.
The 8-5/16" hole center dimension was just bit short of working out. Going up to 8-3/8" would have been too much the other way. Really hard to get an exact measurement.Probably a goofy 32nd number or even metric!
Anyway, they still fit nice and snug. When I lower the 3PT,the deck drops about 1/4", and the lower brackets don't move at all.:good2:
If anyone is thinking of going this route,don't use what I had for center to center. I'm guessing measurements are going to differ slightly from tractor to tractor.
