Kubota Factory BH 92 Hydraulic Thumb Cylinder Dimensions

[paulwestski]

I need some measurements please.

Someone with a factory Kubota BH92 hydraulic thumb, could you please measure the hydraulic cylinder for me??
I currently have the mechanical thumb that I wish to convert to hydraulic.

So I'll need the cylinder diameter, overall length closed and overall length extended.

I may just have Fit-Rite weld one up for me rather than trying to procure one.
The hydraulic fittings on the factory cylinder are on separate sides to allow for the best hose routing.

I have one but it's hibernating right now and not hooked to the tractor. So I can't flex the cylinder for measurements.

Thanks
I'm not in any great hurry.
I am still figuring out what valve method I'll use.

Did that back hoe come out of hibernation yet?

I forgot all about this thread and have missed your last post on it. Thank you for your PM reminder.
You are a very patience man when planing a project.

The BH 92 hydraulic thumb measures
41 1/2 from center of pin to pin open,
24 3/4 closed pin to pin.
1 1/4 piston diameter.
2 3/8 cylinder housing diameter.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Hopefully the one you have will work.
Let me know if you need anything else or need a picture of something. Good luck

Thanks for the dimensions.
I'll let you know if I need anything else.
