Linear actuators are great for adding a power lift to a tractor that does not have hydraulics. They are a bit slow but work really well. Great job fitting the replacement

[@MurphyMower]

This was less than $100 and will be a great asset
The big question is how long it will last

[@MurphyMower]

At that price point

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

Hey Lee , nice fix . I seen one the other day that was hydraulic . It was 12 volts and was all one unit . The only problem is , they are 289.00 !!

[@MurphyMower]

This was under $100- will see how long it last

[@darrellwofford405]

how did you keep from hitting the gas tank with the pieces that lift up and lower the arm's

[@MurphyMower]

I’m not looking at it right now, but it’s very close

[@hipdaizii]

Regardless how bad your solder joint looks, 3M black electrical tape will make it look better. You can stretch it pretty good to hide it 🙂

[@MurphyMower]

If I had tips would probably be better - ha

[@user-gx4ke8ws1q]

Put the motor up to the top, that way water won't run down the shaft to the motor.

[@MurphyMower]

That’s a good suggestion, thanks

[@skip7243]

Eas looking forward to seeing you tear into the old one. Anyway, good vid.

[@MurphyMower]

I’ll do a vid on that this winter
Thanks for watching

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Thanks Lee!

[@MurphyMower]

Hey thanks for watching

Do they have any available on Amazon...my speedex has a bunch of shot hydraulics that are too far gone and need to modern upgrade it

[@MurphyMower]

I have a large selection on Amazon and actually this is where this came from

[@user-ms1dv2uu3y]

who is the manufacturer of this, and where did you buy it

[@MurphyMower]

I got it off Amazon. It was like around $65 with a 4 inch stroke and I think the weight capacity was 650 pounds. I don’t remember the manufacturer right off.

[@MurphyMower]

It sat out in the weather a few times and actually I used it yesterday afternoon so it still works nicely, make sure when you get is waterproof as some of them or not
