Part 2)
My intention was to have the “L” shaped arms to open all the way into an upside down “L”. In order to achieve this I had to move my rear cylinder mount 18” behind the top rail. Boy, it worked great, until I rolled the bucket back all the way. The mount hit the grill guard on the front of the tractor /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I did not take into consideration the amount of bucket rollback that I had /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. Major setback!!! I just spent $60 for the arms and ¼” plate and no matter how I moved the cylinder mounts, it just wouldn’t work /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Believe me, I tried for hours moving the cylinder mounts every which way and it was still a no go. I even tried a different length cylinder, nada. Back to the drawing board. This isn't going to stop an old Snyder County dutchman like myself. I gotta sleep on this.
Sorry, no photos tonight, but I promise there will be some tomorrow night /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif.
