Finished 7510 Remotes!

[PSDawg]

I would like to thank everyone on this forum. The info on this site has been great and a true time saver when it comes to projects like this. I started with the need for a front grapple. I bought the ATI grapple and the electric remote valve from W.R. Long. This is a great setup and works perfect! But I still had the need for an additional remote in the rear for a HTL. For this I used an Eaton Cessna 2-spool from Surplus Center and a cylinder from Redland Hill (cut to 16 1/2"). The most difficult part of this project was determining all the fittings and adapters required. I will post the listing here to hopefully save someone the time and money if you want to add remotes to your 7510/ 7610. Here are some pics.

Very nice, PSDawg. I especially like the way you mounted the remotes; very neat. Far better than the mounting the dealer used on my B7610. I'm going to have a look at converting what I've got into something that resembles your installation.

Good Job!

Very sweet, can I ask the final cost of the entire project

Very nice install - great location - looks really clean.

I, like Bob, think I'm going to try and rework my remotes (three spool Prince SV valve on my B2910) to a similar location and mounting.

SIR,
i am in the process of trying to do a top, and tilt.
i will have to shorten cylinders, or buy new
ones. do you have a website for the cylinders?
did these have the ball ends on them, or did you
have to rework them?
thanks, and good luck with your projects.

I ordered the cylinder from Redland Hill and they do come with standard Cat 1 ball ends.

Very good people to work with. They buy the cylinders, disassemble them, and then install the Cat 1 ends. I believe they buy in the tilt cylinders ready to ship.

Dawg - many thanks and a bubble for your beverage of choice after posting that parts list, it's a huge timesaver! Been leaning towards the same valve location on my 7610 too, but afraid the oem armrest kit will pose an operational or clearance issue.
