brahamfireman Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Piecing together my 756 and the holes in the fender brackets to bolt it to the platform are off by an inch and a half. Was there different spacers under the platforms on the 7 series? Or are the fender brackets different? I'm using all factory parts from many different tractors. Platform and fenders came off my 856, fender brackets came from a 1256. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I'll have a look at mine when I get to the farm later today, try to get a picture or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Mounting brackets on wrong sides. F-544 thru F-1456 used the same LH and RH brackets. Some had 2 hole adjust height and some had 3 hole adjust height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done the side to side swap on another machine, didn't notice it until fenders were bolted down. These brackets have the 2 wire accessory plug so it was easy know which one was the left side.

Long Farms Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Post a pic of all the parts, brackets, platform, and platform extension. 756, 826, 856, 1026 and 1256 all had the same spacers under the platform. 1456 had a different spacer on the platform to brake housing but rest were same as smaller sizes. If a 66 bracket, extension bracket or combination of is thrown in the mix with a 56 platform it will goober it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extentions that bolt to the platform and fenders were upside down and switched side to side. The bolts that go into the fender were under the operators platform instead of above it. What threw me off was they were like that when bolted to the 856, in fact for so long i had to cut the bolts off to slide them out. But the 856 had 66 series fender brackets, so like stated, that will booger things up. Easy fix with no one to blame but myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
