Yea didnt ser that coming either. Just have to work around it somehow. Can i turn this cylinder clockwise as you are looking at this pic 180 degrees? Should work the same i thThat might help me View attachment 160254

Or maybe use a

Yes you can flip the cylinder. Just be aware the hoses will be moving as cylinder is opened/closed. Hopefully there is enough slack in them.

well i tried flipping. Doesnt gain me much. Would have to modify the ends too as pin bracket cylinder is longer/wider on bottom than top. Also cylinder doesnt have much clearance in that top thinner bracket.
so back to what it was.
i have a mayb it will work idea by changing the outside bracket to more of a "C" shape to clear that top hose. I dont think the bottom is as bad or an issue.

Nothing can be simple can it! Lol. Figures the ends are different on cylinder.
I like the C shape of the outer bracket. The side shot shows that well. Cut the bracket just about to your wrong hole should work fine.

Looks like there may be clearance issues with bucket open and rolled back on loader cylinders. May just be the picture angle.

Ha no it cant be too easy. but glad i got this as my first miniskid implement to build quick attach from. As im sure this way would have worked fine on a regular bucket. Then i would have discovered later it wouldnt have worked for this.

Along with C channel going to grind off tack welds of two square tube and rotate from bottom tube as pivot about 10 degrees forward. That will give me a little more wiggle room too.
ill send pics later of that result
