Maybe a little late on this thread but this stuff is good... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Question on the custom ends for the cylinders --- did you or would you cut the old end off and then TIG a new one on the cylinder rod? Thanks for the comments. AKfish

Yeah thats plan is if I did not buy the ones from CCM (if they ever have any). Some of the cylinders I have looked at do not have any ends on them.

That's the only way to do it right. TIG is the correct process to use for this application.

One more question,

Knowing the stroke and retracted length needed, what would be the best bore for the top and side cylinders?

1.5", 2, 2.5" ???

I'd go with 2.5". I believe the CCM cylinders are 2.5" but they could be 2" based on their rod diameter of 1.25". However, rod diameters are usually bigger on welded cylinders than tie rod cylinders of comparable bore.

Makes sense? Since these cylinders are not for heavy lifting I would go with the bigger rod diameter for better flex strength.

Thanks, I'm STILL pondering about putting my own set-up together. I saw where B8FISH had IE set-up for sale for a JD2210. That's a little smaller than my TC24DA, but if the cylinders were the right size I'd give him a good offer! The wife says okay about the T&T.

The old saying goes...strike while the iron is hot. I wish Mark at CCM had stuff in stock before something else comes up around here and she changes her mind!

I believe the IE stuff had one adjustable end on each cylinder which would allow you to change the retracted length. Their tilt cylinder had a 5" stroke. Not sure on the TL.

Can you explain this valve and how it may be used? Never saw one like this before. He has a JD2210 and I'm not sure how the IE system works with the JD, wonder if this valve could be adapted to my NH?

I see the four hoses for the cylinders, but what are all of the other ones?

I'd really like to buy his set up but I'm not sure about this valve...

Re: Hydraulic ?\'s.. Attn: MadRef or someone?

There should be 7 connections on the valve for 7 hoses in total. 4 for the work ports, 1 for the inlet, 1 for the power beyond outlet and 1 for the return to tank outlet. The picture is not al that clear so I can't actually see what is what.

If it is configured as I just said then it will work.

Try this pic. I see at least 10-12 lines off this thing. It is electrically controlled somehow?
