Convert single acting tractor hydraulics to double acting

[kplew]

Folks- I have a 63 International B414 with a single remote hydraulic connector. I would like to pull a haybine with a double acting cylinder. Is there any type of valve or setup that would let me do this?

Thanks for your help

Maybe it's easier to covert thecylinder to single acting with this:

Hydraulic Cylinder Breather Cap — 1/2in. Dia. | Breather Caps| Northern Tool + Equipment

Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Kplew,
Converting the cylinder would probably be easier. I suspect you would have to replace the complete valve body and i also suspect this would be difficult.

The answer is, yes you can, but is it worth it in terms of money.

You can add a DA valve and DA cyl and do what you want.

Look in the cyl section for the bore size, rod size, and the stroke.

You could add a two spool valve for other functions you might need in the future.
