First I was impressed by the lack of profanity when you bashed your hand when removing the top link pin. Then I saw your son in the vid, and figured that was the reason for it, and was even more impressed. Good daddy!!! 👍

Little mans good on that tractor.

[@jameskeough4620]

Well, it wasn't pretty, but you got the job done! Thx! Here are a couple of other things to "consider": 1) Unless you're in the landscaping business or the like and can justify the expense, and unless you already have a valve and connections free on your tractor, you are going to spend upwards of $600 for an install if you do it yourself. 2) Unless you have a hydraulic shop nearby (I actually got everything made up at my local Carquest Auto parts), you're in for a world of hurt trying to find hoses, connections, cylinder, valve, etc. TSC was no help and didn't have all the parts on hand and the local Massey Ferguson dealer could only provide specific parts and only by ordering them. Bottom line, yeah, if you're a landscaper or contractor then go for it. If all you're doing is grading a 50' driveway, the cost and headaches don't justify the install IMO.

The kid has skills, first try with a new device on the top link? Well done, I don't even get the left right alignment right first time. I've got the 3140, bit smaller than yours and want to grade my yard with the same box blade, I'm thinking this hydro top cylinder is gonna save me a lot time

Wroth every penny

Very nice. Waiting for links as well :) THANKS

[@MiHeatingGuy]

It works great

[@TractorsNStuff]

SO. JEALOUS! Where did you get the top link and hose kit? Awesome video, awesome project to do with your son. My son is currently in toddler stage. Don't want to rush it, but I cannot wait to have a little helper!

[@MiHeatingGuy]

I put the links in the description Is was $254.00 for the hose kit and the cylinder. Thanks for watching

[@carlito8724]

oh yeah, that's perfect

[@carlito8724]

So I came back just to let you know that “oh yeah, that’s perfect” with accent and all is now a commonplace remark in my household. Great video!

I know nothing about hydraulics, but why isn't pipe dope needed on the threads into the top link?

[@carlito8724]

crush washers

[@DracoOmnia]

The threads are usually bsp, they are a slightly tapered thread, pipe dope is usually unnecessary for hydraulics and can actually cause problems if you manage to get any in your system. Sure you've got hydro filters but what if that pipe dope gets caught in a check valve on the way to the filter? People use that stuff too much, usually when it isn't needed.

[@donaldhendrix3326]

can you give me the product numbers for the top link and hoses

[@MiHeatingGuy]

It's in the description
