If I do this I can make the tilt steering from the 1864 work. Going to be a great tractor when you are done.

My plans are to use the extra cyclops hydraulic lift lines i have purchased to go into the valves and cut the 1/4" rubber hose off so the full i.d of the 3/8" tubing is available for maximum hydraulic flow. My concern is all the straight couplings fitting nicely in that small of an area since I will have 6 of them to contend with.
They do make a tool that makes the orb fledge in steel line, but they are very expensive and I cannot replicate that tight of a bend right passed the connection.
