missed cylinder picture

sorry for the extra trouble as the attachment was too large the last time and it is now available on that thread as well as here

Did you make that bracket the 'base' of the hyd cylinder attaches to? Looks like it is cast, and fits a square tube. And is the cylinder fully extended, or fully contracted (looks contracted with a long shaft). Seems to belong there, by the looks of it.

What a great project. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Is there 1 or 2 cylinders?

Yes I did make the braket for the mount as well as the rod end. The braket was made out of a piece of 1 1/2" cold roll and cut square to fit into the 1 1/2" square tubing so as to have an adjustment prior to knowing jsut where to weld it and the two pieces of 1 1/4" X 1/4" X 2" pieces I welded to the square tubing after I had drilled and taped the loader bracket and bolted them on giving the proper angle and location. Not too hard to do if you have the equipment to do it. The cylinder is fully retracted and it is one that I had that used to be 6.812" stroke that I had to cut down to 2 1/2" stroke hence the longer shaft sticking out which could have been cut off but then I would have had to make the other end longer so it all worked out.

Ps and there is only one cylinder on the left side.
