I finally started this project with help from all of you here and a buddy who welds.
I did not get pictures of all of the cutting and welding of the cylinders and valve bracket because it's all pretty much as other have done here. I did want to show you guys the amost finished project though.
Here are the cylinders I used. They are the Prince "Wizard" line 2" bore cylinders.
The side link or "tilt" cylinder has a stroke of 4" which should be enough to do what I want. I plan on using the adjustable link on the other side. The ends for it were welded on angles just like the fixed link is to compensate for when the lift arms are spread out. the clevis in the bottom was fabbed by my buddy out of one piece and it has three holes in it like the fixed link does. The cylinder has 90 degree fittings on it to keep the hoses out away from the implement.
The top link or "top" has a 8" stroke and the weld-on ends are pretty much as everyone else has used from TSC. The fittings on this are straight.
I bought them from Baum Hydraulics and they had blank end on them so nothing had to be cut off.
