A quick search popped this up
little tractor .com
I'd be interested in what their DPOCV are like and where they get them. Anybody know?
Thanks

I'll hazard a guess that they are left over inventory from when Integrated Engineering closed up shop.

I completed the rear remote and top link project.I used the swivel end cylinder from Surplus.I made some spacers out of 3/4 pipe to keep the cyl.centered.The end of the cyl will hit the tractor hitch if you don,t center it because the end of the swivel is so short.The top link works great.Now if I can figure out how to send photos I will take some pictures.

Navy,

Photos would be great. Especially if you can show the spacer you fabricated as well.

3RRL - here's the only photo I have of the T&T setup from Little Tractor. Sorry but I don't know anythign about their supplier. I do know that I had to have them put RO's in both as they cycled way too fast w/o them.

The tilt cylinder looks exactly like the one I got from Integrated Engineering. It looks like they have some of the now defunct IE's leftover inventory.

Thanks for posting the photo.
It looks to me the DPOCV are similar in size to the ones used by CCM. I wonder if they are from the same manufacturer? I sent them an email asking if they had any for sale. Hope to hear back from them and I'll let you know.

I did the same thing Navycut....so far so good it is working well. I'll try to get some pictures for people.

Not even close. The IE valves are somewhat larger (taller) than the ones CCM was using (I have one of theirs too). They are a different manufacturer or at least a different style. The cylinder itself is different in that it has a screw on end so that they can be changed to fit different tractors.

Mad,
Close enough for me. LOL ... Those DPOCV are WAY smaller than the ones I bought from Surplus Center.
BTW, those ones are working very good. I've had zero leakdown or failure as far as I can tell. They are just giant.
Oh, and I wasn't talking about the cylinders themselves, only the DPOCV.

You're right Mad, the cylinder does look like one from IE.
Jim McCuan, of Integrated Engineering, lived very close to Little Tractor and James Little. He also bought a tractor from them. It's not suprising to me that it seems to have a powder coat finish. Jim had access to that at Midwest. Here's a picture of the demo's on a Kioti at Louisville in 2004. They look the same except for different color and an different end on the tilt cylinder, which just unscrewed.

For some reason I think I remember the owner told me the yoke on the top of my tilt cylinder screwed on/off. Haven't ever looked close @ it though. I know the top cylinder has welded ends - Cat 2 so I hve to use bushings.

Little Tractor: 618 - 524 - 5870; 800 - 885 - 1495 James Little is the Owner.
