Top and Tilt for 3430

[CaptainU]

Can someone tell me what they ordered from CCM for top and tilt on a 3430. I talked to Mark and he asked me all kinds of questions. All I need is the center and side ram as I have 2 rear remotes. Thank you

The entire inventory from Integration Engineering is now being sold exclusively by CCM.

You only need the top link cylinder and the tilt link cylinder. Measure the min/max distance of your exisiting top link and choose the cylinder that most closely matches that measurement. For the tilt link, you will need to take measurements of the forks.

You will also need to measure for hoses if you are getting them from CCM.

If you go to Top N Tilt Questionaire he has a form there you fill out with the information he needs.

Thank you gentleman. I'll get the measurements and call CCM back.

I purchased the top link from CCM for my L3130. You will need the largest. I got the hoses 30" long. NOTE: the threads in the valve on the cylinder are 3/8" BSPP not NPTF. For best fit you want 1/2" NPTF 90* male on one end for the Pioneer QD. On the other end a #6 JIC female. Get 3/8 BSPP male to 3/8 JIC male adapters to go on the cylinder. You can then put it together on the tractor without any twist. I run my hoses in front of the cross bar of the ROPS then back over and down to plug into the QDs with that 90* QD male. Works very neatly. I will try to get a picture today.

It's great to see someone like CCM stepping in and offering TnT for compacts. Short of the loader, I don't think there is any more useful device on the tractor then TnT and in particular, the top link. Get it and find out just how useful it will be. When you see how much TnT costs from the dealer using the factory setup, it's understandable why folks are reluctant to get it.

Thanks Texbaylea,
The picture would be great.

It might be a little while. I can't find the cable to connect camera to my laptop. I got a new case for the laptop and in the switch something happened to the cable. I will keep looking. I was very specific about the hose ends since I had to revamp the hoses I got from CCM.

Hi Vernon,
Thanks for the info. I ordered the rams today from CCM without the hoses so I can use the info you gave me and make sure they are assembled correctly at the dealer. The dealer is pretty good and my salesman and I will put them together in the shop. Thanks again. Sounds like you have my problem, putting things away but forgetting where.

Just as sure I put something away "safe" I may never find it again.
I have the pictures, just finished taking them, and I think I know where the cable is. I will work on it tomorrow afternoon. My wife has dental work to be done in the morning. If I decide to get the side link later I will get it without hoses and have them made up locally. Be sure that you use 1/4" hoses to slow down the ram movement.

If you can't find a 3/8" male BSPP to 3/8" male JIC locally then go to www.fittingsandadapters.com and look under Metric Fittings. If you are going to use 1/4" hoses you can also get a 3/8" BSPP to 1/4" JIC fitting. Price is around $5 each.

Thanks Vernon and
When I ordered the rams from CCM Mark told me he didn't have any in stock so he wasn't sure when I would receive them. I'm presently working on getting Hydraulics to the mid point of the tractor for blade control and taking the floor out of my barn and numerous other things my wife wishs I would finish. Oh well it will all get done. When I get the rams I'll report back. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Neale

I called CCM today and ordered a side cylinder for my L3430. They said a shipment had just came in so you should get yours soon. That was on 4/7/05. Be sure to post photos of the install, I am going to post mine as well.

Ksmmoto,
Thanks for the info. I can't wait to receive them. I have to make sure I use the 1/4 lines like Texbaylea suggested. I never thought about movement speed. This board is great. Thanks again everyone for the help.
Sincerely,
Neale
