nother toptilt

( Where did you find a hydraulic cylinder with a check valve? I've looked around the 'net quick and haven't found much, short of CCM's great setup, but they're out of stock for the length top link cylinder I need....)

I have never seen one available for sale here in the USA except from CCM and the now defunct IE. Your best bet is to wait till they get more in. The wait will be worth it.

Seems like those valves should be available someplace to add to your own cylinder.

Not here is the USA.

Take a look at this post. About half way thru the discussion turns to the correct specs for the double pilot operated check valves used on ag equipment. I wanted to used a readily available valve but it doesn't spec out correctly.

Thanks Mad! I have been around long enough I should have known to do a search. The correct valves have to be available someplace. I think I will call the local hydraulics shop here in town and see if they can get me one.

Good luck. Been there, done that.

A good friend of mine owns a hydraulic repair shop and he couldn't find anything that would work correctly.

I'd wait for CCM since even if you found something the cost for parts and assembly would be close to twice what CCM is selling theirs for.
