Power angle cylinder
 

Since I'm almost done adding dual hydraulics to my 1211 I guess I need to start figuring out the ram for the plow, I need to know the rod diameter and the stroke of the factory ram so I can begin my search. Thanks

1.50" Dia by 7.50" stroke.

Excellent, thank you.

IMHO, that 1.5" Diameter of the rod shaft is a bit excessive but have no technical data to re-enforce my suspicions.

:bigthink:

I agree, that does seem like a bit much. I would think 1" would be plenty.

100% agree. :beerchug:

My guess is that the bore is around 1-1/2" but the rod is smaller. Here is another thread that has more dimensions.

This looks pretty close. You may need to move one of the attachment points to accommodate the slightly longer stroke. I'd move the point on the blade outwards a bit. Should be an easy thing to deal with.

As long as the cylinder moves the blade angle from full left to full right, it doesn't matter if it's "centered". :beerchug:

Don't know if this helps, but this is what I used for a power angle cylinder on my 125. Works good, even in dirt and stones. Wheel Horse Tractor Mower Hydraulic Lift Cylinder (it's the red one:biggrin2:) Find them on Ebay.
