Got a little more done on my hydraulic setup. The relief in the pump is adjusted down to about 700 PSI.
Found a couple cylinders. The one for the lift is off a MF combine and I think it's 1.12" or 1.25" bore by 5" stroke. The one for my blade angle is a 1.50" bore by 7" stroke tie rod style cylinder.
In order to make the lift cylinder fit I'm going to have to mount it on the left side of the dash tower. I could have mounted it on the right side but it would have had to have been facing back towards the seat since my pump mount interferes with it facing towards the front like the original NF hydraulic lift. With the cylinder turned around backwards I would not have as much lifting force since a cylinder has less force on the return stroke due to the rod taking away surface area on the piston. Since I'm mounting the cylinder on the left side I had to cut a 3/8" wide x 6" long slot in the tunnel and part of the frame in order for a bracket to connect the cylinder to the rock shaft. I'm making a new rock shaft and it will be a larger diameter in the center to eliminate twist due to the cylinder and 3 point lift bar being about 8" apart on the shaft.
