I will soon have (hopefully) two hydraulic outputs on the rear of my 3320.
I already have a top link cylinder that I bought for a song from my local dealer when another customer bought the entire top-n-tilt kit and only wanted the tilt cylinder.
After looking at JD parts I was pretty astonished at the price they wanted just for the tilt cylinder $450, and another $105 for the clevis that goes from the lower 3 pt arm to the cylinder rod. I will be pricing the entire kit from the dealer. Sometimes it seems the kit is way cheaper than buying parts piecemeal.
My question is has anyone figured out a different cylinder that will work for the tilt? It looks pretty specialized having a spherical eye mount at the top and looks like a keyed shaft at the bottom with a set screw for the clevis.
Thanks,
Mike
