Pat's System-need to fab hydr. top link extension

[bgWI]

Greetings,

I just added Pat's extensions a few days ago and have power top/tilt. While I was able to hook up my 9" Vably chipper by tipping it forward with a manual top link, I have other attachments where I will want the hydraulic top link in place. Has anyone fabricated and extension for either end of the cylinder? to pick up the 3" of additional arm length? I also posted under "attachments" and I will contact Pat for ideas...

take care,

Bill

Bill,
I posted an alternative solution in your other thread.
Longer Top Link

TexasJohn,

Thank you for the pics - more ideas so I'm stopping by my favorite hydraulics fab shop. BTW- I like your position on "tools." There is nothing that cannot be accomplished if you have the "right" tool!

take care,
Bill
