Wheel Horse D series rear lift cylinder issues

Is this the correct section to post my question about the rear lift cylinder on my D200 or does it need to be in implements and attachments?

I think flipping the link may work

The plate isn't a stop it ties the two side pieces together for strength. It may be reversible but it is on there correctly now.  Your fitting seems to stick out a bit further than the original as on my D200.

I agree that the swivel fitting looks to protrude too far from the body of the cylinder--likely not an original. (I added a D rear cylinder for a separate circuit on a 500 series--quite strong, they are!)

I wondered whether or not it was a OEM hose, but it wouldn't matter if it was smaller connector the bracket would still hit it. I may try flipping it as QWest said. I wonder if the original hose would be available somewhere? Thanks

I'll try that, thanks

Flipping the bracket didn't work and turning it around won't either. Even if I cut it off and moved it up the sides of the bracket would hit the union. I'd say its definitely the wrong hose, but I did wonder if this was supposed to be a shorter cylinder, but that doesn't seem right. I adjust the lift arms up and down and doing that did not matter in the way the bracket it the union. There is another set of holes below where the lift arms are now I wonder if that would make a difference if I mounted the lift arms further down.

I can't get a decent picture of mine between the gas tank and easy ride seat.  Tomorrow i will take the FEL counter weights off so i can move the 3 pt up and down and see how close it gets.

Here is a picture Bob ranger sent me and a picture of mine, see how much further his rood goes in and the angle of the bracket, our unions are not that different to explain the differences.
