Post a pic of the attachment plate on it and some measurements.

Will do, maybe be the weekend before I get out to the shop, but pre winter work on the thing is on the list

I had to figure out what a steady bearing was too. I got it by the way he was talking about it.

Matt, I know 90's and up are all the same, not sure about that far back.

[matthewh]

Its been difficult. Find conflicting info about it, some Sa there the same, others say the lower pins are narrower, so you have to move them out to work with newer attachments. Plus, throw in the chance the loader setup may have been replaced at some point.

Like Andy said, ill just have to get some measurements and pics, and go from there

[dazedandconfused]

I think it was 86 or 87 they went to the universal mounting plates. I know we had a early 80's and some attachments would work but others would.

If its just the width between the pins that is different, burn new holes in the attachment. Seen it done before

[dazedandconfused]

I believe the height of the older machine mounts was smaller. Its been 15 years since we messed with it though.

[PToombs]

Caleb voiced my thought on the issue. It's easy to burn 2 more holes, just measure twice and cut once. If the rest of the measurements are the same.

Just don't do the "I cut it twice, and it still doesn't fit"

[Tacoclaw]

"I cut it twice, it's still too short."

"I cut it twice, it's still too short."

Have a SERIOUS low power issue with my ol 93. Was suspecting the CAC was bad. Finally got what I needed to pressure check it. I was right. Shot to hell. Ordered a new one................... they sent a 2nd gen cooler. Decided to check the CAC on my crew cab truck. That one leaks, too! I can't win!

Swapped in the 4:10 Detroit tonight, it's a long story and I'm typing it out on my GF's phone since I dropped a 40lb press spacer on mine, so that'll have to wait.

Short story is that not only did the 4:10 work, but it used the exact same amount of spacers that the other carrier did and put it right into backlash spec.

I'll give the full story when I get to a computer/find a new phone.

So when I changed the idlers on the front end of jaeger a squeak/ticking noise was noticed coming from the valvetrain, so I checked my valve lash today. Somehow #1 intake had picked up 11 or 12 thou of clearance. All the rest were good. I also switched from the 1.1a/r to a .9 on the 480, so I'll see how that affects spool up, and driving characteristics

It is harvest time. Give equipment space on the roads and just assume every steering wheel holder pulling an ag hopper is over weight.
