york rake behind a jeep

[SalvageTitleTJ]

More detailed idea:

12volt horizontal pump similar to one on surplus center part# 9-7413 for a dual acting cylinder mounted behind the rear seat. Then affix a cylinder from the top of the rather beefy bumper I have on the Jeep to the top mount of a Land Pride rake. Letting the two lower points act as the hinge. I chose this a possible option of how perfectly the height of the rake and bumper line up for welding the attachment points and bracing.

If the above seams plausible the parts I could use even more recommendations on are;

-Solenoid or lever?
If possible a solenoid controlled joystick, so I would only be running wires to where I would like to mount the joystick.
-Having the ability to 吐loat is also essential.
-Down pressure would be nice
-Check valves for holding in the up position
-Cross tube cylinder ends would appear to fit rather easily into the upper mounts of the rake. Would running spherical rod ends be more forgiving?
-Land Pride model 1560 Rake weighs 241 pounds

Thanks for all the help!!!

I've always thought the Monroe lift was modeled off of a Ford 8N tractor. You can see the parts here http://www.farmjeep.com/img/lifts/monroe/Monroe Hydraulic Lift Parts List.pdf I had even thought about going to TSC and buying the replacement arms and links, but then found a complete lift. I wonder if you could do a modern version of the Monroe lift that would slide in/out of the rear, with a 12v hydraulic pump?

Only reason I was thinking stratton style was to retain the use of the back seat and storage area. The jeep is a big ugly salvage title, but perfectly safe and and legal to drive down the road serving many other purposes as well. You might be starting to sway me though I am off to my old jeep shop for some other parts and have printed some of your items on the monroe lift.
After I decide on the system I am going to use would the people in the hydraulics thread be able to point me in the right direction on a modern 12 volt pump.
Thanks for keeping the ideas flowing.

During the early 60's my dad helped a co-worker do a truck garden behind his orchard. The guy had a Farmall cub which had a plow and cultivator set. He had a tow behind disc set that was too big for the cub so they pulled it w/ his old flat fender willys jeep. They also used the jeep to pull the potato digger too. It wasn't a 'farm' jeep...

I had a '62 CJ5 w/ the PTO mount covered w/ a plate and the round hole thru the cross members for the PTO shaft. Any Jeep w/ the twin stick transfer case [in/out & HI-N-LO] was able to have a PTO.

I remember seeing a guy w/ a farm jeep and sickle bar cutting fields along the highway in the 70s...

What does the PTO do on a york rake?

We like the Newgren for the same reason of keeping the bed open. I didn't ask the year of the jeep, but if there is room under the bed, the underbed design is the way to go. I had a guy borrow the Newgren to have a copy made. It is a pretty simple construction. You can't tell it from the original.
The hydraulic forum is a great place to go for advice.
