toplink cylinder

Not even close. The IE valves are somewhat larger (taller) than the ones CCM was using (I have one of theirs too). They are a different manufacturer or at least a different style. The cylinder itself is different in that it has a screw on end so that they can be changed to fit different tractors.

Mad,
Close enough for me. LOL ... Those DPOCV are WAY smaller than the ones I bought from Surplus Center.
BTW, those ones are working very good. I've had zero leakdown or failure as far as I can tell. They are just giant.
Oh, and I wasn't talking about the cylinders themselves, only the DPOCV.

The tilt cylinder looks exactly like the one I got from Integrated Engineering. It looks like they have some of the now defunct IE's leftover inventory.

You're right Mad, the cylinder does look like one from IE.
Jim McCuan, of Integrated Engineering, lived very close to Little Tractor and James Little. He also bought a tractor from them. It's not suprising to me that it seems to have a powder coat finish. Jim had access to that at Midwest. Here's a picture of the demo's on a Kioti at Louisville in 2004. They look the same except for different color and an different end on the tilt cylinder, which just unscrewed.

For some reason I think I remember the owner told me the yoke on the top of my tilt cylinder screwed on/off. Haven't ever looked close @ it though. I know the top cylinder has welded ends - Cat 2 so I hve to use bushings.
