Surplus Center Item Detail
I would have much preferred to have a cylinder from CCM, but they didn't ever seem to have them in stock and I need a third arm now. |
I wasn't trying to start an argument, I just wanted to make sure everyone reading the thread was aware that there is no requirement for homeowners to install them. I haven't read the OSHA reg's word for word, but I think they are misqouting a section about equipment that employees are required to go under or into to perform tasks, otherwise we would see the same hydraulic circuits on all tractor loaders and forklifts. I have never seen a loader with that circuit and I doubt forktrucks have it since I have heard of more than one incident in industry where a mechanic was crushed under the forks of the fork truck he was working on. I do not advocate working under a suspended load, including one suspended from a three point hitch. I wouldn't feel completely safe working under either cylinder with a load on it.
I agree about the bushing too. Mine were just Cat II to Cat I top link bushings from Tractor supply. They fit nicely, but do not stay in as well as those must. Had I seen those on Surplus Center I would have bought them.
