There is an EBay listing for a level tilt cylinder - Kubota b8200 9200 side link hydraulic leveling tilt cylinder Tisco Ts hsl 2202 for $121.

Has anyone tried this on a BX? It looks close enough to work and the price is right.

I would first want to know both the extended length, and the retracted length.

Look at the last posted pic on the ad. It shows specs of 11 7/8" to closest hole on bottom clevis. I measured my link at app 11 3/4 center to center. I extended my link to about 15 1/2", so it gets maybe 1/2 inch more extension than the cylinder, which is listed as a 3 5/16 inch stroke.

By the way, the $266 price listed on the spec sheet is not what the seller is asking. He's asking $121 w free shipping.

I think that is likely a good deal. But the cylinder may be the least expensive part of the installation, other than hoses.

I am sure you understand the costs of the control valve(s). If you do proceed consider getting two rear remote valves, then you can add a top cylinder later easily...

I added the kubota remote kit several years ago, giving me two rear remotes. I have a top cylinder, from a previous B7100HST. I just haven't found a tilt cylinder.

I went ahead and bought the HSL2202 cylinder from ebay. The short answer is no, it is not a drop in fit.

The upper holes are too small and need to be at an angle to make everything work. If I have this modified to work (I don't weld), I'll post pics of the result.

Harold and USPS did a great job of getting it here. I ordered it late Tuesday afternoon, received it Friday, super service.
