I got my scraper snow blade, and got it mounted. I like it very much, but one thing concerns me, I don't get it lifted as high as I would like to.
The hydeaulic is all good, no problems there. I'm wondering if there are any mechanicle adjustments I can do to the setup to make it go higher?
The scraper blade might be a bit to big, so maybe I can't get it to rise higher.

I was outside now and I noticed that both my lift arms can be adjusted, not just the one with the leveling box.
The other one was turned all the way out. Gone try turning it a few turn in and hoping that will do it :)

That was only good for one turn, so that did nothing.....

Hi Tom.
Have you shortend the top link? Other than that, Is it possible to pull the upper lift arms off the splined shaft and move them on a couple of notches? I've never tried it but cant see why it wouldnt work. I suppose what you gain at the top you would loose at the bottom though.

Hi, the hydraulik is best to work as the fabric adjusted, becouse of danger to damage parts insides hydr.system (adjusting has to be done from insides) if someone could get his hydraulik lifting higher...I think the liftarm,s and screews below the axelshaft is in danger to be broken et.c. as we can see..every time the hydraulik is out of adj... the system is bad for something other too.
If you want to lift higher, you mybee can weld the liftpins ("threepoint" bolt,s) on the euqipment in a higher position.

Silly me, I found the problem
At some point a owner has shorten the chain with two links at the lift arms. Two pins out, put the chain back the way it should be, and two pins back in, FIXED
