 Topic: Found a 6080
Posted: 21 hours 56 minutes ago at 12:43am |

Well we finally got one. Late model (deutz-allis stickers) with fwa cab and loader. Everything seems to work and it looks pretty good for a 40 year old tractor with 8000 hours on it. But I do have a question about the hydraulics. It has a homebuilt grapple on the loader controlled by what looks like a third factory hydraulic lever. Located on the right side of the seat and operated by pulling up or pushing down on it. Only 2 sets of couplers at the rear of the tractor, this is plumbed in somewhere under the cab. Is that factory or a dealer installed option or is it a custom deal?

Even though it is a late model - I would check the fore/aft play on the crankshaft. The late 4.33 motors had a double wide thrust - BUT, at high hours I would still check it. The front bearing set up can still be added. Congrats and just my 2 cents worth.

I’m guessing a bearing support from a donor tractor? NLA from AGCO the last time I checked, we wanted to add one to our 6060.

Thanks for that. I looked it up on tractor data and it said 2 remotes. I have never seen one with a third remote before so I would guess it isn't very common?
