Budget angling for B2672

Now that I have three posts I can finally link to the picture showing the space I'm working in

That shows the Kubota cylinder, I'd be looking for a cheaper replacement.

I would go onto Surplus Center and find the right size cylinder, that cylinder has what they call crosstube ends, if the ports are on the side (vs the top), I would just install a pair of 90s, the front one pointing straight back and the back one pointing straight up.
Here is their list of crosstube cylinders: Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders | Hydraulic Cylinders | Hydraulics | www.surpluscenter.com

Hey Dave, that valve looks really interesting. I'd seen kits but nothing nearly that inexpensive. I think I'll take a look and see if I can mock something up using that valve. I guess the second part of my question still remains though. The blade I have expects the hydraulic connections to run vertically, parallel with the mounting pins, but the cylinders I see on surplus center have the hydraulic ports perpendicular to the mounting pins. I think I'll have to make a mockup for that too and see if I can get fittings in that space without potentially pinching at full blade travel.

Changing the orientation of hydraulic connections to cylinders is usually easy using either 90 and 45 elbows. Be certain to use hydraulic fittings not plumbing ones.
