Came up with a lift idea. What are your thoughts.
 

Well I was thinking about this today while in safety training for work (5th time ive taken the OSHA 10) What if you did the following

What if I made a small bracket that bolted onto the top 2 bolts on the rear dif cover and connected a actuator from there to the brinly adapter. You would have to use non floating lift straps but what should happen is the actuator moves up and that pushes the top link up by the lift straps. That in turn would move the link between the top link and the lift arm. You would just have to put the lift arm in float mode. That would also make it so it could lift and lower front implements.

It was just a day dream brain storm so maybe you guys could let me know if this would work or not. Here are a couple pictures showing what I mean.

Red line would be where the bracket would go, blue line would be the actuator.

Blue line on this is the actuator. I am assuming i could weld a flat bar connecting the lift tab to the two arms of the adapter to mount a bracket to on this side.

so you kinda thinking something like this...

I’m playing with the idea of using a small electric winch mounted at the rear of the tractor with the cable running forward to the lift handle. The winch would pull the handle back to lift the rear attachments. Only in the thinking stage at this point but Harbor Freight has a 2000 lb winch on sale for around $60.00 :bigthink:

I used a electric actuator for the rear blade of my old 782 mainly so it.can operate independantly of Tue.front or.mid attachments

the winch would have to pull the bottom of the handle forward to move the attachments up. You would need it in front of the rockshaft or run a pulley and go past the rockshaft and come back to it and connect it.

Last time I checked you pull the lift handle back to raise the deck. :bigthink:

Now we know why you had to take the osha test 5 times.

yes you pull the lift handle, which makes the bottom of the lift handle move towards the front of the tractor, if you pull on the lift handle from underneath the tractor its going to push the top of the handle forward.

Whats going to happen when you pull on the blue line shown in this picture smart guys. Thats the only way i can see a winch being mounted under the tractor moving the lift arm.

Winch (in red) would go on top at rear. Cable along side the frame tunnel.

makes sense, I just can't figure out how that would be routed to work. There isn't much room
