Putting a Meyer's power angle on a Ford NAA

[Soundguy]

I can't take credit for it. I've seen it used for a front scrape blade, and a small nose lift for a trailer on other antique ford tractors with 3pt lift.. but not much ability for external hyds..

I assume you coud fill one cyl via hyds thru the hose, fill the other and expel a bit, and then union the hoses with a 3-way female pipe T and add make up oil, then plug..

Have you actually done this trick?

Whichever one of you do it, post some pics. I'd like to see it.

I have done something similar while dinking with loader hyds on a couple of my machines where I had limited external hyds capability.. I was actually using the 3pt for one cyl, and a rigged remote for another... finally got a different setup and laid it to rest..

I'm going to try Soundguy's idea. I have two cylinders unused from a woodsplitter project. They were too small for that but will work fine for this. Now I just need to mount the Meyers on the front of my tractor. didn't want to cut into any of the truck mounting brackets as then i can't sell it for that use.

if they are da cyls, just put a breather plug in the unused port but not a sealed plug...
