Looking for a pre-fab hydraulic top link

First one on list is in Australia. Don't think that is going to help much. None of them have a check valve Cat 1 -- but the Aussie had a check valve Cat 2. Personally, I would wait for CCM. It usually doesn't take too long for them to get them back in stock. I am surprised they wouldn't give you a expected arrival date -- they did for me twice.

BareCo has a North American division now. I wonder if anyone has checked on the price of the replacement valve that they list.

Try www.bare-co.com for the USA website.

From their website:

BARE-Co Sacramento operates as a WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION CENTRE. ENQUIRIES SHOULD BE THROUGH YOUR LOCAL AG-DEALER or by FAX or EMAIL

Unfortunately they don't list prices or individual product availability but the pictures are the same as for Australia. You have to Fax or Email to get a quote from whichever dealer they forward the request to.

Hydraulic top links seem like a popular addition here at TBN but the webs sites listed above represent a fairly motley crew. I'm sure any of them would be fine but it just seems like there would be at least one, well known supplier who makes a good, locally made cat 1 top link with a check valve and keeps them in stock. Looking at each of those I would agree that CCM still looks like the best option. But all-in-all, pretty disappointing.

Seems to me that Northern Tool or Tractor Supply should sell these. But they don't.
