[QUOTE="stugordon321, post: 3123278, member: 43272"] Presumably I need to find a ram slightly shorter than a normal top li(when closed) so I'll have plenty of movement both ways? As I say the reason I want a hydrolic top link is I intend operating a post driver off the 3pt linkage. This way it will only need a quick adjustment of the top link in order to keep the mast level & therefore knocking the posts in level. Hopefully the photos upload. Would anyone know why I have a hydrolic hose with a female Dowty fitting? I've not had much to with tractors but the few I have used only ever had one male Dowty fitting to attach a tipping trailer etc. All I can think is maybe it had a loader fitted at some point. The pipe is conected to the hydrolics as if I push the lever down to operate the hydrolics I can feel the pressure in the pipe if I hold it. If this would work I would like to keep the male Dowty fitting & swap the female fitting for a QC fitting & add a return for oil via the fitter on top of the rear end. Would this work or do I need to plumb the return in somewhere else? If so where? The bottom 2 photos show the QC fitting I hope to swap with the female Dowty giving me both old & new connections should I need either. I can't imagine using different fittings often but if it's as simple as just changing them I may as well. Thanks Stu [/QUOTE]
