Hi fellows,
I'm in the process of overhauling a new to me B7200, and I'd like to install a hydraulic top link to work a boom pole. The only issue is the hydraulic tap block is up front by the fuel filter bowl, and I'd like to save that tap point for my snowblower lift cylinder anyway. Kubota use to make a tap port kit that replaced the cover over rockshaft pistion, but it's been discontinued.
Is it possible to tap the existing piston cover and install an adjustable flow valve? See attached pic of the cover. I'd say set it so the end of the tap fitting is flush with the inside cover so it cant hit the piston. Does this sound doable, or a good idea?
Thanks,
Brandon
