Mog front likage

[combined tree services]

hi guys , im looking for some advice , i have picked up my front linkage for my mog but can not seem to find any info on fitting it onto the front of my mog , any advice and pics would be really appreciated . i think the biggest confusion is how many of the mounting brackets for the din plate need to be removed

 

thanks in advance guys

you need to take the din plate right off and the linkage should have mounts top and bottom. the top should fit straight onto bumper and the bottom should have diferent arns to line up to where the DIN was mounted. I reckon you will need to do some fabricating, know 2 mogs are the same and it depends on how they come out the factory, my linkage was made to fit the mog i had, so everything lined up.

I had to drop it on at a certain angle as the eyes were at funny shape, so when it was inline it was solid, hard to explain really

cheers Steve , im looking to fit the linkage this weekend , to be honest we are only going to use it to carry the chipper when we have a full load of chip on to start with , im looking for front mount Ducker of similar that will take about 12" but that is a bit of a way off at the moment .

i would get it right, a ton of chipper falling off going along the road wont be cool. The linkage might not drop enough to lift the chipper, have you checked for that before you try and fit it?
