    Check Valve for Tilt Cylinder

    The picture on the right is what I am interested in. I think I can overcome the #6 port if I can find a DPOCV that is small enough.

    Check Valve for Tilt Cylinder

    Number 2 would be my preferred method. So far I have not found anything sold in the northern hemisphere that is small enough to fit in-between the ports.

    Check Valve for Tilt Cylinder

    I am looking for a source for a double inline check valve for my 2x8 tilt cylinder with #6 sae ports, 6" center. My google fu is not good on this one.

    Just measured it and the factory banjo bolt at the loader valve is 3/4-16. Post above has been corrected.

    Photos of the third function. I picked up a keyed 12v source for the third function diverter valve at the rear tail light wiring.

    These are misc photos through completion. On the ROPS mounted valve the return to tank is 1/2" ID fuel hose. That hose Tee's into the hose on the loader valve to tank. I used a 1/2" pex tee with band clamps.

    DIY Straw Bucket

    Currently taking them to a local composter. Most people around here burn them once fire season ends. When we bought the property 3 years ago it had not been well maintained past the irrigated areas so the duff and undergrowth was pretty thick in some places. Every year we expand the areas we...

    DIY Straw Bucket

    Yes I can see the outside tines. Really nice to be able to see the angle in relation to the ground unlike using the standard bucket with clamp-on debris forks.

    DIY Straw Bucket

    We have loads of leaves and pine needles. I had been using clamp-on debris forks but they didn't work that that great. The tines were too big to penetrate the debris piles well. I fabricated this one using a SSQA back plate, 3/4" & 1" black pipe, 3/4" x 36" concrete form stakes for the tines...
