Thanks. I already have a box blade and a pond scoop. I can weld but I wouldn’t say I am a true fabricator. I was hoping to avoid getting another tractor, but it looks like that might be my best option.

Hello all, I am going to have to move a lot of dirt around my property. What are some options for a FEL/Bucket for an L185? Is it worth the effort to try to rig up something that isn't specific for the L185? (I see some locally for Fords or other tractors).

Thanks everyone. Got the arms in the right place and things are much better. Got the roll pins in on the hog as well.

Thanks, I will try to tackle those things a bit at a time. When my house is finished and I have my workshop and tools over on the new property, I plan to start fixing things up on her. I won't do a full restoration, but something that looks good while not making me afraid to use her in the...

Thanks, I will try that.

I have some of those, just haven't put them fully on yet. Any tips on how to get the roll pins in on those suckers? The vice grip trick doesn't seem to be working and the bushings want to roll when I am hammering in the pin.

Got it down a little, but still not enough. What else could it be? Top height seems right where it should be and better than before. Do I just need longer lift rods?

Very good, I will check that too.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure before I started messing with it. There is not a lot of information even in the manuals. They talk about the top height, not the bottom.

Hello all. My l185's 3PT arms won't go low enough to work properly with the quick hitch. From what little information I can find, it looks like adjusting the feedback rod should allow it to go lower. Is that accurate? It does seem like the feedback rod is to high as it will continue to try...
