Have you had an opportunity to use the R/H 3 Hydraulic Levers on your Ser.III
while working outdoors in this extreme cold and wearing a pair of insulated mitts ?
I think you will find it is a bit awkward.
I did a similar revision to my D-12 Ser.III for the 2 R/H Valves.
I mounted a Meyers 7' Snow Blade for winter Snow Plowing.
The shorter inner lever is for Hydraulic Angle, longer outer lever for raise, lower.
Both valve levers are similar to yours, close together, point straight up.
It is a royal pain to use the inner hydraulic angle lever on a repetitive basis.
I angle plow to only one side of my driveway, so I have to change the angle from right to left and vise versa at the end of each pass.
Wearing a pair of insulated mitts, it's rather difficult.
I need to rework these levers.

The custom live hydraulic system has been thru the summers of 2017-18-19 and 2020. It has never once failed to prime, which was my only concern with the pump mounted up as high as it is. It has worked well with no issues and makes the tractor very universal with modern hydraulics. Now maybe someday we can fabricate a real nice/heavy Category #2 three-point hitch that can easily be converted back to snap-coupler.

G,
Tractor doesn't do much during the winter. The hydraulics are used for a deere barge box and a heston 1091 haybine.
The Dr is right, after tires are done I need to fabricate a 3pt adapter similar to his.

Hell, I would just screw on a 2" extension onto the middle lever and be done with it. That should make it easier to find with mittens on.

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

I won't be changing or modifying them. If it was a concern I would careful bend them to spread them. As they are now I can run them just fine.

Eight years ago this week, the series 3 D-15 hydraulic system project began. Not one problem yet.

Should probably get around to fixing the internal oil leak and then painting it one of these years.

Thanks Steve, it's made quite a bit of hay for me over the years. It's earned a paint job if I have have time to do it. I'd still love a set of late series 2 brake pedals with the good lock.
