Yes I did. The tractor is a 1985. Ford 1910 model. That does have a three point hitch on the back that has hydrolic control lift.
The FEL is a Bush Hog model 2245 qt. bush hog no longer supports this old model or supplies the mounting hardware. I do have the factory specs for the mounting hardware. I'm hoping to track down an existing mounting kit. Failing that will have the brackets made at a machine shop.
Any one have ideas about tracking down that mounting kit?
I'm trying to find a shop that can do the install and replace the hydrolic hoses etc.
I also have to figure out the hydrolics needed to support the FEL. And determine if the existing pump is up to the task. There are aux hydrolic ports under the seat. So there is some capibility there.
In the mean time I'll get some new front tires, sort out a leak in the rear axel that has turned up. Planning on cleaning and painting the FEL. Wire brush and lube the hose connections in prep for replacement.
It's a chore for sure, but I have more time than money, so here I go.
