109 vs. 149 ?

[nikster]

Thinking of buying an hydralic lift that came off a #149. Should be able to mount it on my #109 ?

Yes/no?

Any comments?

Thanks in advance

NIK,

It will work just fine if you have or put a ported pump in your 109.

Be sure to get all the parts to make the lift work, some of the indivudal parts are a little hard to find and the cost adds up quickly.

Sam's right. You'll need a ported hydro. Most 109's came from the factory without a ported hydro unless they had factory hydraulics. If so, you'll have to swap out hydros.

$$$$$$$$$$ ugh! Seems like this will be a project that will cost toooooo much?

Well got to look at the brighter side, on & off to direct the blade. Exercise is good.

Thanks,

Probably better off keeping your eyes peeled for a parts 149 without an engine. Then you'd have all the parts handy to swap over. I think the 109's and 129's with hydraulic lifts are pretty handy and neat tractors.........

Some plows from MTD,JD,Craftsman have a manual blade tilt that you can operate from the seat. I've often thought about getting one of those or makeing something like that for my cubs.

I had a crapsman with a extended lever type thing to direct the plow left & right. It worked but.............

I don't have enough gray matter to try to come up with the mechanical know-how in trying to rig something like that? But if I saw it 1st. Hand I could attempt it. Or maybe a step by step pictorial in a converted plow to tackle a project like that.

So guyzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, if anyone converts one, take step by step photos to help those out that aren't that mechanicaly inclined?

This would make a good how to project.
