Had the old N for about a year now and have been using it with a 4' hog just keeping close watchon height adjustment which does seem to change occasionally but not too often after everything warm and running good. It has 2 hooks coming off flatbar angeled out from the sides of the hyd. cover plate. Wondering if the best place to hook limiter chains would be to the lift arms by the lower limiter chains or to the hog lift attachment points. Thanks for any help. The archive files are great if I could just figure out what tranny oil would work best in the old girl. Larry N221024

Thanks to all for the answers and will pick up the extra chains next week. Noticed when I went out this morning the top link lock had came loose and the link had screwed itself in giving me very little adjustment in max and lower lift. Reset and its all doing better. Now gotta get back out to the hog and the field. Happy Motoring. Larry

Nice to see you using your N's serial number in your "handle" here on the N-Board. BUT, it needs the front digit so we know weither you have a 2N (9N221024) or an 8N (8N221024) because your question sort of has two different answers depending upon which model N you have.

That said, the "standard" (if there is any) way to hook up limiter chains is the piece with the chain welded to it goes on the implement lift arm pins. The pieces with the slotted hole goes (as Dell said) on a long top link pin. One slotted piece on each side of the top link rocker (piece on tractor that you hook the top link to) with the top link in the middle, of course. I then pull the slack chain over the top of the top link and fasten the ends together with a double ended dog/horse slide clip (hope you know what I'm describing - not sure of "offical" name) so the ends are up out of the way.

Regards,
Larry

Larry,

I bought a Zane Thang about a month ago. It works as advertised. I was at my mother's house yesterday and she had a large pile of sand she wanted to level. The N saved hours of "hand" shoveling. I couldn't have gotten it level without the Zane Thang. Check the archives for posts about it. You would find anything negative.

Forget the chains and the aggravation they entail and get a position control device to add onto the lift and you never will have to worry about the position or height again. Just set the height with your touch control as you would with the 8N or any modern tractor.

I was asked to come up to Munford Tractor Co. yesterday to install a ZANE THANG on one of his customer's 9N. I had to re-adjust the quadrant mount a little and still had it on in a matter of 15 minutes and by that time had drawn a small crowd of onlookers an skeptics. When I started it up and the owner tried it out with the bush hog attached to it he just couldn't believe it! The owner of the tractor place was still trying to figure out how it worked when I left. DUH!

Larry..... ...traditionally, load limiter chains fasten from bitch-tie plates held by a longer upper 3-point pin under your seat and stretch down to the implement lower lift pins, thus setting a limit on how low the load can go, but the chains collapse when the hydraulic lift is raised to go over obstacles and when lowered, the implement returns to the chain limited height without you having to watch it..... ....Dell

Dell is exactly right. As far as the hydraulic oil - it's in your best interest to use the 90 weight MINERAL OIL (never "gear oil") and the 134 oil that's available can cause leaks because of the lower viscosity.
