could this be a useful part?

[deepNdirt]

found this and the local salvage yard while there on Monday, i thought might be useful some day, it came of a commercial type Aerator like in the picture, it was used to lift and lower the core/spike deck,
Been thinking about whether I would need it on my tractor? I've seen them on one side of the lift arm to easily adjust the pitch of an implement through hydraulics without getting off the tractor, although not sure if it feasible to go through the effort
if one were to use this would I pull hydraulic supply from the loader controls?
I have the one dump line that is currently fed back into the reservoir, although I don't think it has much pressure on this line, there was Talk of a Power beyond port on the loader control when I was going through installing the FEL onto my tractor, perhaps this would be where need to pull supply from?

I don't think you will ever find a use for it. Being a nice guy, send it to me so that it does not clutter your garage.

A very short stroke wood splitter?

Maybe use it to raise/lower the tires on a pull-disc, or the spikes on a spike harrow? Or tip a dump trailer? Maybe lift or angle a front snowplow blade? Since it includes the control valve it should be simple to install.

I have the same thing stock on my Iseki. It is great. I can put any implement on even if it is on uneven ground. It also makes putting the first arm on easy because you can raise the adjustable one up out of the way so you can move the unmovable one up and down to fit first. It is also good when using a blade. If you slant the blade it is easy to adjust it back to follow the ground.

Would be useful I think. Depends on how much you use implements, of course.

all good idea's it cost me 30.00 bucks so I figure I'd go ahead and grab it up ,
at first I thought maybe try to my hand at building a 3 pnt wood splitter but the ram is only 9" plus I couldn't be sure how much pressure it could produce? the next idea was to put it on the lift arms as mentioned, But what if it produces too much pressure and extends too far and bust the lift arm
I'm still thinking if anyone else local needs one of these things there was another machine just like it setting right beside the one got this one from,

if anyone else local

Location: NONE

uh Deepy ....



I expect it only has a few hundred lbs force considering its original application. I doubt it would work for a wood splitter but it should be great for the other suggestions above.

ooops! OK I fixed it I'm in need of a new avitar also, coming soon

Some guys use them for the top link. It would be as handy there as on the arm. I sure wish I had both.

If your loader valve has a power beyond port, yes, that is where you would want to power up your cylinder.

OK .... so please let me ask this question, the pump used for this cylinder was what looked to be nothing more that a car style power steering pump if not was one! it had a pressure connection with high pressure hose and apparently a return back to the pump reservoir that had no pressure because this line was simply held on with a hose clamp, I know the line coming into the control (pressure side)would need to come from the PB, but would the return line from the new added control be simply dumped into the tractors reservoir? or would I need to tap into the return line again as I did when connecting the FEL?
Thanks for the info Folks :thumbsup:

Power beyond from existing valve into new valve, tee return line into existing return line. I'll attach a pdf that shows it. http://www.princehyd.com/Portals/0/products/valves/LvsInstS.pdf

been trying the cylinder on for size and the length would be just the right size to fit between the upper and lower arms with it all the way retracted in,
although my way of thinking is the part the hoses are connect to should be connected to the upper lift arms to prevent hoses stretch or kinking, however it is the ram end of the cylinder that has the threaded/removable end that I can change out to a Ball connector easily and slip it right over the upper pin, doing so this way would have the hoses at the bottom and may cause the problem I mentioned, I do realize that the upper lift arms are going to create some hose movement although not as much if the hoses have to be on the bottom,
anyone with any ideas to resolve this issue? How much heat can this thing withhold before doing damage to seals? i suppose I could cut the end off and weld on the Ball & socket to the cylinder end of the unit?
