John,
Thanks for the schematic. That looks like just the thing I have been looking for. OUCH $270 huh, did you ask how much in US dollars that would be?

try giving Theros Equipment (NH dealer) a call 888-284-3767
They're supposed to have the right ones for about 175.00 each.

Dummy,
Thanks for the lead. I called Theros and their parts guy told me they just go down the street to the Tractor Supply Company (TSC) and order from them. The parts guy also checked with the salesman. The salesman called me back and said they can get Tisco cylinders. I think I'll take Bird's advice and stay away from Tisco.

Well everybody I decided to get the Gearmore cylinder recommended by John (Shade2u2). It is only 1/4 inch longer than my stock toplink when it is retracted but has an amazing 8 inches of adjustment. My factory toplink only has about 4 1/2 inches of safe adjustment. It is a lot of money but it comes with swivel eyes at both ends and has the 8 inches of adjustment so it is the best thing I (you) found. I wonder why NH makes my TC33D with such a short 3 point hitch. I bet they get higher lifting capacities than if they used the longer standard lengths.
Thanks everyone for your input, I'll keep you posted on the new toplink and post some pictures later.

The part# is T3x8-<font color=red>18

I think someone else originally suggested Gearmore. I only made a call to check on size & price so can't take credit for the recomendation. They do seem like good folks to talk to & did have a variety of sizes, and I only recall positive remarks from TBN members about Gearmore. I hope that you're happy with the unit. Please let us know how it works out for you.

Spencer,
I know this is an old post but, could you post the list of parts you bought to install the hyd toplink with model numbers and what you paid for them (if I may be so bold). I want to do the same thing.
Thanks!

Tell your dealer to contact Buy Smart Inc at 888-945-3102.
They are in the parts business. Sell mostly the fast moving items like the tires for Woods mowers someone was looking for. I understand their price is less than half of Woods.
Same people as the First Choice brand machines.
They likely have a good hydraulic toplink for an attractive price.
Good luck !

Mike,
I got the rear remote kit from my NH dealer. The part number on my invoice is FNH 718348013 and it cost $253. I have not installed the second set of remotes yet as I have not had a need for them. My dealer did quote me a price of around $225 for the second set.
I got the hydraulic toplink right from Gearmore out of California. The part number is T3X8-18 and it cost $270 plus $20.28 to ship it standard UPS to Michigan. They have no distributers over here so they were willing to sell it to me directly. They will not accept a credit card, they ship it COD. I am very happy with the toplink, it seems to be very heavy duty. You can no longer use the toplink hanger to hold this toplink up when not in use because of its size. I will attach a picture comparing it to my factory toplink.
