PA44 subframe and carter

[Stu75]

Does anyone have any pictures of the old power arm/ hy-reach flail bracket by McConnell sub frame mounted. I am trying to fit one to a IH 884 I have been told that the bottom of the frame should lock into the lower arm brackets but it won’t reach and don’t line up. I have also been told I am missing a “Carter” I can’t find any info on these and I have not been seen one. The manual refers to this but the parts in the picture look very different to the subframeI have. I would like to keep using the subframe rather than try and change the implements to 3PLas has been suggested to me, as it will give a far more solid mounting. In the picture the subframe is lifted as high as possible giving a lower mounting hole height of 33/34” as per the manual. The inside arms of the subframe re resting against the top link mount does the Carter fit into the top link mount then fix to these inside arms?

I found it a major job attaching like that, tied the tractor up too long. Did away with subframe and just ran it on 3 point linkage. PS. have just stripped one down so if you need any parts drop me a message

Yes. You might have to wait a bit until I’ve worked out how to attach it to a message..

Mine for MF500 series tractors consist of what you have in the photo plus a smaller bracket which fits underneath it where the top link mounts. If it stops snowing, will get some pictures later

Hope you can make out the bracket on these photos

Thanks for you responses. At least I have some idea of the look of the bit I need now.

Had something similar for a hy-reach on a 272 Leyland with the pump connected directly to the shaft, used the backend oil & boosted it with the pump if I mind right.
Bolloxed about with it for a year or so then made up a 3 point linkage for it, fitted a tank for the oil & mounted the pump with a pto shaft to it, much better job.

Those systems cause a massive back pressure on the tractors systems, best option for OP is to make it 3pl and make a stabiliser frame
