Doug B - did you really post that last message? After my warning about not modifying the sub-frame, you went ahead and did what looks like a terrific job AND NOW you're letting a little flat back U-bolt get to you. The little sleeves are like bushings. If your armstrong lift arm does "not" have that tin metal cover towards the bottom (like the 1 shown in Frank C's last pics) then you need the little sleeves/bushing. All they do is keep the attaching bracket from rotating on the lift arm. The key item you need is the flat back U-bolt. It's not actually fully flat either, close but has some rounding right where it fits against the lift arm. With your artistry ability (as evidenced with the sub-frame and lift rod) I'm certain you can make one. If Kraig or someone else comes up with a pic of a lift arm withOUT the tin cover and with the bracket, U-bolt and sleeves it will be a whole heck of alot easier to see and understand - and then really easy for you.

Harry, I do not have a photo, or at least have not found one, of the sleeves you mention.

It does appear that Doug does have the tin piece on the lower portion of the lift arm.

So that's the suggested retail price, what's the best price and where do I get 'em?

Hey guys, Im looking to put a set of headlights on my original but I can't seem to find a set for a reasonable price. I can however find farmall cub headlights for fairly cheap, does anyone know if the lights from a farmall cub are the same size or comparable? Or if there's anything out there that used the same lights that might be easier to find?

Shultzie,

There is no such thing as a reasonable price for O headlights!

Check your local implement junk yard for old IH combine lights, If memory serves me right, all but the hopper light are the same as O's.

Ok, thanks! I cant believe the money they're getting for these things.
