HubbardRA Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Is it a hydrolift cylinder mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 You got it Rod!:D I had to get somthing a bit thinner for the cylinder that I'm using for the 3012 hydro conversion. It's a piece of 1/2 plate, cut in the shape of the real mount. Then two pieces of flat bar welded together. I hope to get a picture of it in the tractor over the weekend.

ehertzfeld Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well after a bit of grinding and filing, I got the mount and cylinder done. I have about 6 or 7 inches of travel at the clevis. I believe that will be enough. I'll get it on tomarow, after a trek south to pick up a B112 with out a engine. I'm also working on another hydro trans that will go into the B112:D I'll post pictures of the B112 and the mount and cylinder in the 3012 tomorrow.

HubbardRA Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Elon, the normal hydrolift cylinders only have 4 inches of travel. I think you have enough on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmonkey Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I was going to say a left handed smoke shifter, or a sea chest, but someone already guessed right. JH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Byrne Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I was going to say it was a table saw with a piece of unknown iron on it and a sawdust covered tool box just below it. But, I have been known to be a wise arse!}:):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Nice guy's! :D:D Rod, The travel was was referring to , is the movement up and down of the cylinder, not the strokes. The cylinder length and stroke is about the same as the original Simplicity cylinders. I got this one out of that Gilson I got from Kent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubbardRA Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Elon, The up and down motion is related only to the rockershaft. You can measure the up and down motion of the attachment pin as the shaft is rotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehertzfeld Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 That came with the hydro. I jut swapped the whole rear end. Now It's time to try to figure out the 2 valves and were to put them.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll know more in a few weeks. I hope to get it out of the mud this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richp Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Elon, what are you using for control levers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm not sure what I'm using for the valves yet. I have a few one spool valves that I was going to use, but then I thought about my two spool valve I got for the loader. It would be easy but it weighs a ton! and I would have to mount it a certain way, and that is not the way I want to mount it. My boss told me to try to find a joy stick valve off of a loader like his. I'm going to see if I can find one tonight. If I can't get one reasonable, I'll go back to the two singles valves. I made up a mount last summer, that I can use. I'll snap a picture of it tonight and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 This is my valve bracket that I bent up. I bent it to "almost" the exact way the original lift quadrant is. Here is the two spool valve I bought for the loader project. It's really big! I searched Ebay and came up empty finding a joy stick valve, so I guess I'll use the two single valves.

ehertzfeld Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Oh I made the bracket longer, so I can use two lift arms to lift the "Elon" bucket evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ok, Rich, this is how I'm going to mount the valves! I think it should work pretty good.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubbardRA Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Elon, The mounting looks nice, but how do you hook up the lines to make the two valves work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehertzfeld Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well rod, I'm going to have the two vales in series. If I understand how it work, it should work. If that doesn't work, I'll have to tee them off on both feed and return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
