Need a little help, a picture of the linkages is what I am hoping for. My XT was missing the linkages when I bought it so I purchased the missing items and painted them along with my tractor 10 years ago. I finally got around to installing them this week and ran into an issue when I try to install the position control rod going to the lift arm. When I try to install it in the lift arm, it seams that maybe I have something wrong at the feed back lever/bell crank. Maybe in the wrong hole or I have it orientated wrong. Also, the position control rod and the control rod are different lengths so I have no idea which is which? Hoping someone will take some measurements of those 2 rods and a picture of the bell crank-feed back lever connections for me. My factory manual doesn’t give me those measurements.

| In the top picture, the flat piece that the two rods are attached to, needs to be flipped forward instead of backwards. I don't know if the rods are in the correct holes or not. |

| Once you flip that piece of linkage over, I was always taught to install a 3/8" bolt and nut in the unused top hole to stop it from ever flipping over again. |

Thanks, do the rods go in the same holes after I flip it over? ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

| I think your owners manual has a picture of that and what the extra holes are for. |

 Found this sketch near the end of my service manual. Does this look correct? ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |
