I got $100 in gift cards for Northern Fool and I'd love to buy a Hydraulic cylinder to use
as a toplink. I've got remotes already, just need the cylinder and the hoses.
Looking at the website, I can't find any cylinders that have the correct ends.
Anyone know if NT carries what I need (without modification/welding?)

If you don't buy hydraulic toplink cylinder then chances are that some modification will be necessary. Your best bet is to find a cylinder that has the the attachments bored through the shaft and the rear of the cylinder.

I bought a brand new toplink cylinder off of eBay for $80. I had to add 2 hoses and 2 ISO CUT connectors. One end was a little too wide to fit into the tractor bracket but a die grinder solved that problem...

No Northern doesnt sell top link cylinders. I bought mine from Dalton Bearing and Hydralic in Tennesse. They sell cat 1 and cat 2 top links and the price wasnt to bad for the cat 1 but the cat 2 was more expensive. Just another option instead of surplus center... Bull

I ran across this link for hydraulic top links. I don't know anything about the company.

Hydraulic Index

Best regards, Steve

Also neat links on Bailey Net and Surplus Center - added them to my where to look list. TNX JJ
