tractorhogg 658 #1 Posted July 20 (edited) 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? Edited July 20 by tractorhogg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,418 #2 Posted July 21 I think flipping the link may work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 21,003 #3 Posted July 21 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tractorhogg 658 #7 Posted July 21 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 21,003 #8 Posted July 21 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Handy Don 17,209 #10 Posted July 22 Wow. Time to start measuring stuff like the cylinders’ extended/retracted lengths at the attachment points, etc. From the photos, it seems like Paul & Bob’s are shorter cylinders or anchored farther back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 21,003 #12 Posted July 22 Ok couple thoughts. There is very little clearance even with original coupling. Also my hose comes straight up and is held by a fabric strap to the right side of the frame. MVI_1579.MOV 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I thought too, but a couple things made me wonder, first my rod seems to extend much longer that Bobs, and second, even if I had a OEM coupling I don't believe my bracket would not still hit, but I'm not sure. I'll try to find it the thread, about 2018 there was this exact same issue posted here and in that case a used OEM hose did solve the problem so maybe that could be the answer. If the GT14 hoses would work I know where to get those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
