Re: (ET) More lift motor- New Idea Pictures Anyone?



I have posted several pictures of my New Idea front lift motor on a Yahoo 
website:

If you can't get on this website, send me a direct email, and I can email 
the 
photos to you in a ZIP file.

The third photo shows the front "bumper". If you will compare this to the 
GE 
you will see that the mounting bolts are spaced differently, and the 
"support 
arm" projecting forward is not there. New Idea tractors have this arm as a 
separate bolt-on part.

When I converted my New Idea from the under-mount deck to the front mount 
deck I used the GE front bumper, with the arm welded on. I had to drill 
new holes 
to mount the NI lift mechanism, and everything works OK.

A couple guys have mentioned New Idea Lift Motors.

Can someone who has one take a few close up pictures and show the rest of 
us 
what these thing look like ?
