Vince, I always enjoy your posts...and pictures of the tractor. Your installation looks professional. The location of the control levers looks like a factory job...I am assuming there was nothing there before and you made the slots, etc to mount the controls? Where did you buy the components for this and what specific components did you have to buy to make this all work?

Vince,
Thanks. My 3054's top connection on the lift link does not have a clevise that goes around the lift arm. The is a large pin that sticks out and then a swivel end on the lift link. I know that Tractor Supply has swivel ends that you can weld on, so I might get to use my plasma cutter on this one /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Heres the links to the hydraulic stuff you mentioned:

Pete,
The slots for control valve handles are already there, the controls, valves and quick couplers I used to the rear of the tractor are factory.
The remotes were availible as a kit thruogh Kioti for around $200 per set (tax Included).
The dealer installed the first set, I later installed the second set.

Vince,
I wish you would quit showing pictures like these, because you have me really interested in doing that to mine. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I'm trying to remember if you have pictures on here already that show it tilted?
Where did you buy your cylinders?
Thanks, RedDog

Heres one.
My top link cylinder is a 2 1/2"x8" tie rod cylinder from TSC with the ends cut off and top link ends welded on.
My tilt cylinder is a 2"x4" tie rod cylinder from Prince Direct.(part # SAE-8404-0)
www.princedirect.com has a 3" CAT 2 and 3 top link cylinder availible.

The only problem that I see here is that you can't reach through to the levers from the ground behind the tractor when hooking up an implement because of the sheet metal, etc going across. Instead of using that type control on my MF they used a "joy-stick" that is mounted behind my seat in a corner near the ROPS. I can reach it easily from the seat to make adjustments or from behind the tractor.
