Top N Tilt Build

[bubbacuse77]

Just finished my Top and Tilt build. I did the remotes a couple years ago and finally finished the side link tilt cylinder which will round out the project. better late than never.

Thanks to Brian at Fit Rite. Even though I wanted to build my own vs buy from him, he was still more than willing to offer advice.

Now does anyone have any good pics of Ideas on how to hang the top link when not attached to an implement? The bunge cord will work for now but looks a little 2nd rate.

I made a larger hook from a piece of 1/4" rod bought at Home Depot.

The set looks good. :thumbsup: If you can find a 1" deep x 1/2" wide channel (inside measurements) or even 3/4" wide channel, just hose clamp it onto the cylinder and you can then use your OEM retainer. Just slide and clamp it into the right location so that the OEM retainer will catch the channel.

Brian I'm not sure i am following your description. Do you have a picture
I thought about welding a half of chain link on the cylinder but didn't want to risk warping the inside and messing with the seals on the piston.

Sorry, no picture. :ashamed: You can do the same thing with the chain link, just use a hose clamp vs welding.
