Lift conversion
 

Has anyone here ever put an IH hydraulic lift on a 147 that had been equipped with an electric lift? If so, could you explain your method and how the job turned out? I had sent my electric lift out for rebuild, but it never made it home. I hate to convert it, but other than a manual lift, I don't have any other ideas. Thanks you.

yes you can put one on it,it is explained in the manuals section,but @ $350 to 400 a pop,I would find a Elift for it.

What happened to the E-lift you sent out?:bigthink:

I think the guy he sent it to had a 147 that needed one:biggrin2:

Just kidding:bash2:

Lol lew :biggrin2:

:bigeyes::biggrin2:

Buy a new actuator. I made my own electric lift for my 104 and it works great.

As reliable as the e lifts are (from what I've read), and how much $$ the hydro. lifts are plus how much mods. on a 147 frame are required to instal, my $$ is on putting in a manual lever lift. They work fine, especially with a spring assist IMO.

The old actuators are not reliable and are slow. Mine I can have the 42" blade on the front and stand on the sleeve hitch and it will lift me and the blade up without straining and no change in lift speed.

Really glad this post started because I was looking these up the other night and wanted to get an idea how much power they draw. Are you just connecting to the battery direct? I also wanted to add a winch but not sure if I would need a more powerful s/g and/or a battery with high amperage to handle the draw.
