 Topic: 8070 door handle
Posted: 01 Jan 2024 at 10:48am |

Hey guys, long time no post. I broke my pull handle on my 8070 and the dealer says they are discontinued. Is there someone else that handles them or does someone have a spare?
Thanks, Aaron

Inside handle. There’s been other conversations on this. Maybe someone will post the links to them. 80s Chevy trucks I think are close

Try a local salvage yard… Seems a lot of those tractors went there…

Or put on a 7000 series handle.
They never break!

The original "belt" style was DQ'd 30 yrs ago for a steel pull bar. I'd think a leather strap would be easy to fabricate.

The pull strap from a 73-87 chevy pickup is a pretty close match. They can be dyed with SEM plastic paint. LMC Truck. USA1. Brothers Trucks. One of those should have them. Change both doors and nobody will know the difference. Of course a leather strap will work too according to your preference

I have moved a couple of door handles from the right door to the left door. That's the side that gets the most use in my area and rarely is the right door ever used. You can always fabricate something for the right side then.

Would a piece of baler belt be too 'redneck'?
