Put a TnT on my 494 this past weekend. Used the 554 kit linked below which is fairly close.

Overall the only real issue is that the tilt cylinder clevis is 15/16" on both ends while the tractor is 3/4" top and 7/8" bottom. Few minutes with the welder and some scrap pipe to make a bushing solved that.
Tractor clevis pins aren't long enough so have to get some longer ones, these came from McMaster. Bottom could really be 3.75" but as far as I can tell those don't exist. I'll just stack a few more equipment bushings on till I get a chance to mod the pin.
I also reversed the check valve assembly on the tilt as it was getting the way of storing the top link.
After using it with the box blade saturday afternoon I'd say the only thing it needs is a set of flow restrictors, even throttled down it's twitchy making adjustments....
Also on the B remote valve, that one hex cap has the detent assembly in it. 30s to pull it and convert to return to neutral.
Top & Tilt Kit to fit TYM 554
PLEASE VERIFY THE SIZE OF THESE CYLINDERS WILL WORK ON YOUR TRACTOR BEFORE ORDERING. A TYM 554 top and tilt kit would take one hydraulic top link (part number 06004) and one hydraulic side link (37009). Both cylinders come with a double-piloted check valve. Cylinders must be purchased...
