4th & 5th SCV

[DDT]

New 4400. Well I played with my BH to learn the controls tonight. I got along great man that thing will dig. anyway I removed the BH and put the 3 point arms on the tractor. Things went well untill I tryed to put my hyd top link on. the remotes next to the top link stick out too far and the remote to the left are behind about 3" My top link hyd fitting will hit the remote next to the top link. well I can't turn the top link over because it will hit the power beyound lines. So I end for ended the top link, well that don't either as soon as you contract the cylinder it will hit the remote. I may need to post a pic for you guys. does any one have any ideas???? I got to have my hyd top link.

Well, I'm not a TNT guy...{wake up Bird... we need an expert here...} but...

It appears you have your cylinder backwards according to your pictures...? I would want the cylinder body stationary with "flexible hoses" (possibly rerouted) & mounted to the tractor end and the rod end connected to the implement...

Perhaps, I'm seeing an optical illusion here...?

Knowing me I'm wrong..but I always thought the top of the cly should face the other way like on most backhoes.

I've got absolutely nothing constructive to add (imagine that) but I sure am envious of all your hydraulics! Are those all JD adds? Where are the controls located? Nice /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

It looks to me like it would fit if you turned the cylinder around and used one of the two lower upper link mounting holes. With the hoses on the top link on the left I think they would clear the SCV ports. I would not mind seeing some additional pictures of the valve and lever arrangement for the 4th and 5th SCVs as well./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Rob, I think we should just hang at this thread and maybe we'll be constructive before they are through.

Dana...

Looking at this again… you need a much “slimmer” hydraulic cylinder body for fit, and the bottom right hydraulic port line{from the picture angle} appears too close and needs to be redirected…?
