After mounting the winch brake lever on our 4u D2 we found that it was not user friendly to operate the hydraulics. Talked Pete Bloom out of master clutch lever off of a dead machine. Fabricated a new mount so the lever woul clear the winch brake and allow the hydraulic control arm to go over the top of it. Also added a clamp to hold hydraulic lines to the rear implements. Drilled all of the worn connectors to 7/16 and replaced the pins with 7/16 bolts. All of the previous slack has been cured and it should be much easier to operate?

That's nice. Just like the blade control on a D69U I've run in the past.
