I don't suppose you have a pic showing the max tilt do you? Anything you would do differently if you were starting from scratch? Thanks again for your help.

Jim, I don't think I ever made any pictures of the maximum tilt. I know it was more than adequate. I first started off with implements level with the manually adjustable link on the left shortened all the way and the hydraulic link fully collapsed to allow me to lift implements to their maximum height, but of course, that meant I could only tilt the right side down. After trying that a few days, I re-adjusted so that implements were level with the hydraulic link at mid-stroke. I could still lift everything as high as I needed to and could tilt the box blade either direction as far as I ever needed to.
I do have a picture of the box blade tilted all the way forward, so I'll attach that.
Anything I'd do differently? Of course. I now know where I could have bought a valve and cylinders locally for less money. I'd try to find the linkage to use a joystick instead of the two levers. I'd use quick couplers instead of plumbing the cylinders directly to the valve. Don't guess I ever built anything without thinking later of something I could have done better./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I had my JD dealer install the JD T&T package on my 4400. Its a very nice package but it wasn't cheap, about $1800 including labor. There should be no question about "will it work"? This kit is shown in both the service manual and parts manual for the JD 4000 series tractors.

Jerry,
Is there any chance you could give me the part number to the T & T you had installed? Thanks! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I will be at the farm this weekend and will look it up in my parts manual. Should be able to let you know Monday.

The following is T&T setup my JD dealer installed on my 4400. According to the parts manual this fits 4200 thru 4400.
1 - LVBM19534 Power Beyond Kit 190.00
1 - LVBM19535 4th & 5ht Valve Selective
Control Kit 675.00
1 - M135646 Fitting 5.71
The next two parts are the hydro cylinders and I don't believe they are JD parts. Perhaps someone will recognize the part numbers.
1 - TIS-HTL2102 20" closed length cylinder 190.35
1 - TIS-HSL2102 HYD Link 169.69
6 - They made some Hyd. Hoses 3/8 x 2' 15.36
They then charged me for 10 hours labor. As I said it wasn't cheap but it sure is a nice integrated system. They replace the cup holder gadget on the right fender with a new one where the holder is towards the back and the two control levers on in the front. I hope this helps.

Jerry, those are Tisco cylinder numbers.
