Keep on you'll be a pro at those steel lines. What r you building next?
I just bought a 4'bush hog/rotary mower at a sale last monday.... a green one.ugh.lol

my button setup worked out pretty good.

I plan and imagine the steel lines one way, but always in reality they take up more space tan I plan for I have to start planning for more room, but it is OK.

Switching to this diverter will free up 1 set on the rear, and I've got the cylinder for the rear tilt, so that will be next but that shouldn't take more than a couple
hours, I'm just going to cut the ends off the fixed linkage and weld them to my cylinder.

Next big project needs to be a grapple mount on the fork frame, I've been putting that one off, and it would be helpful.

 

[bandaidmd]

your just going to take your "thumb" and use it on both?
I'm really glad i went with the grapple bucket,i could use the lid for other purposes but as of now i don't see any.
I'm going to add some sort of fine rake to my grapple, as it is now you can use the big teeth to rake the larger stuff into a pile but some teeth almost like a handheld hard rake will be usefull.

Yea, that's my plan to use it boyh ways since it would only take a few mins to swap it, but probably would use it more on the forks than the bucket, I would think.

This is probably what I'll try to copy.

 

[bandaidmd]

some extra pieces longways between the forks and you basicly have the bottom of a root grapple bucket.

So finally got time to get my button switch worked up, this is a handlebar mount button for customs.
Just free handed a mount to attach it to the joystick. It feels good puts the button right where it's comfortable. I might make it a little smaller but for now this will work

I'll get a pic of it clamped to the stick tomorrow.

 

[Burtonbr]

100% complete, finally. The button works great for $20, just thought the others were too expensive. Looks a little funny in the pic but it is comfortable to use.
I like this better than running the grapple from the rear remote, seems cleaner and more responsive should have done this first with the grapple.
I did add a switch to cut the power off when not in use, just thought it would be safer.

 

[bandaidmd]

Looks good, did you just wire the switch always hot.

I am getting power to the switch from the seat safety switch so it's hot only when the key is on.
Was able to cut the clevis ends from the fixed lift linkage and weld them to this small cylinder for my tilt linkage. I like it but this little booger is fast you gotta have a light hand on the lever for small adjustments.

It looks like you have a smaller than 2" dia cylinder? Doesn't take much fluid to get that thing moving quick. A flow restrictor will help out immensely with the speed problem.

 

[Burtonbr]

Yea it is small, a 1" with 5/8 rod. I hadn't needed a flow restrictor on the grapple or top link but this will need something to slow it down. I'll have to find an orifice fitting for it.

 

[bandaidmd]

I got my tilt cyl from Brian with a flow restrictor fitting.
I thought I had a defective one the hole is so small.lol Were talking torch tip cleaner drill sizes.

That is a whole lot of hydraulic action going on there!
