Where is a good source for a tilt cylinder? Can you even buy a cylinder made up with the proper ends or do you have to make your own?
What is the Bore and stroke?

My guess would be a 4" stroke with either a 2" or 2 1/2" bore.

I meant, the typical bore and stroke size used.

Brian mentioned a 4" stroke with a 2-1/2" cylinder. I think mine is a 6" stroke on a 3" cylinder. My cylinder is quite large in diameter. The ideal stroke would be the same as the adjustable link you will replace with the cylinder. My adjustable link could be adjusted a little over 6", so this was the best choice for me.

Well I looked at some dimensions that I have and it looks like a 6" stroke will work for your side link. I think that with your size tractor that you would be fine with a 2" dia cylinder. A 2 1/2" dia cylinder might be a little cramped on your tractor, but then again it may be fine.

As an example, on my Mahindra 7520, I have an 8" stroke with a 3" diameter, but on my Mahindra 3215 I have a 4" stroke with just a 2" diameter.

I hope that some of this info can help you. ;)

Jim, I think the op was talking about his FEL tilt cylinder.

Willl, wouldn't that be the curl cylinders instead of tilt? Since he asked about a single cylinder and called it "tilt," I believe he is talking about his 3PH. In fact, I think you thought he was asking for a definition when he was looking for dimensions. Either way, if he is talking about the FEL, I'm sure he will tell us.:)
