I just couldn't say no

I stumbled across this little gem while on a Sunday drive with the Mrs. It was her idea, so there fore it only stands to reason it's her fault I HAD to buy it.:HeeHee:
Any how. Its a 105 that runs just great. As usual the steering is shot, but it has weights, chains with biters, and I'll let you try to figure out what's missing and the reason I bought her.
Took her out of the trailer and put her right to work to boot!

Hydraulic lift? :bigthink:

Cool looking tractor.

On another note, you really need a new trailer to give your Cubs a quality ride! :biggrin2:

Nice 105. What's with the elevated hitch?

A P.O. mounted the hitch one set of holes up. It will be dealt with accordingly . And the winner is..........hydraulics. but not what you think. Two owners ago have some how tapped into the pump to supply juice to the spool valve and cylinder. The plumbing down there is a combination of things including, are you sitting down? Copper tubing. AND IT WORKS! Its actually a pretty nice clean set up. I had already fabbed a rock shaft and was putting a belt driven pump together when I found this wonderful piece. I want to tear into it and transfer the set up to the "1273" .

NIce!! Who says that the narrow frames are too narrow for hydro lift!!

I KNOW! I can't wait to open it up and see how it all shakes out. I'll keep the pics coming if there's interest. Oh, and the trailers scheduled for a make over this summer too. Well that is if I quit hauling tractors home in it!:Forgot:

Definately need some pictures of the plumbing job for the hydraulic lift. I heard some talk about being able to use the existing charge pump on the hydro unit to power a ram to lift implements. I'm really interested in doing something like that to my 123...

Nice find on the 105! I like the custom hydaulic lift.

hydraulics
 
strange as it might seem - small seamless copper tubing can handle a lot of pressure.:BlahBlah:

Yep..>I guess it should be an "exclusive or" arrangement.

Either: Push the ram to lower the implement

OR

Power the tractor to move forward or reverse.


But not both. Assuming you could implement this logic in hardware (and lock OUT the ability to try and do BOTH) it would seem workable.

Removed the fenders and got a closer look. Appears to be a jack shaft running a chain to
a gear pump. Plumbing down below is to scavenge oil to the pump. Dual spool valve mounted to side of seat frame riser. The cylinder is mounted to a stud right off the frame.

That's pretty interesting. Thanks for the pics.
