Hydraulic angle attachment for blade
 

I have been contemplating building the mounts to angle the blade on my 1650with dual hydro. I have built the mounts and planned on using a lift cylinder from a quietline. After looking at some photo's of other kits I realized the piston on the cylinder might be to small. I know the cylinder will have to be redone as the ports will exit to the rear and not at top or bottom. Any ideas would be welcome.

Try using a cylinder from a 149 or a 169. They match the original style.

I used a 1.50" bore x 7" stroke cylinder for mine.

Here's the factory setup.

Contact Cubcrazy aka Mike he has 3 power angle setups not that they are for sale (I did try tho!) He will be able to help you with sizes and such. Just saw Adams post he can help as well!

Adam sweet as always!

I built my own using original brackets for the larger cylinder and used a hydraulic cylinder off of a combine head lift. Cant remember what brand of combine, but I went to a combine salvage yard and had lots to pick from, Had original cylinder to base my measurements from and the one closest I had to just shorten the ram by cutting a little off and rebrilling for the pin on the end. The one I ended up using also had a 1" ram. It will never bend. Good luck and if I can answer any more questions just email me.
