I finally got a chance to modify a cylinder from a ball type end to a clevis end and get it installed on the tractor! Works great! I just need to get some hose protector sheath. I hope to try it out with the box blade this weekend. The hydraulic top cylinder made a big difference for sure.... I'm hoping the tilt cylinder will be just as handy.

Looks good but that a lot of hose.

You'll find that very handy with any dirt engaging implement. Looks good.

That looks good. I still have to do the same with my tilt cylinder. Other pressing issues have put me behind on my Ford refurbish. Like getting my truck back on the road. 😏 I got one of these RV/Trailer Levels to mount to the front face of my quick hitch. It's not installed yet but I'm hoping I'll be able to see it from the seat. I was thinking I can get the hitch back level with the planet when I'm finished with my blade(s). Or to tilt to the opposite side. My tilt cylinder will move up and down so I figure I'll need a quick way to get the hitch level again.

Looks good.

What are the cylinder specs? Bore x stoke and rod diameter?

It has a 2" bore, 4" stroke, 1 1/4" rod.
