      Hey man, sorry to hear about your knees. I have a friend that’s had both replaced and he’s doing pretty good, and still doing construction work. Mine are still ok (knock on wood).
      Yes, you need a link with a clevis on both ends. You also have the option of going with a heavy duty linear actuator with clevis ends. some of these are good for 5,000 lbs. static load, and can push/pull up to 2,500 lbs. You could operate them with a toggle switch next to your seat. Something to consider anyway.

        Incidentally, the adjustable link in your picture is set up to be a top link due to the double axis joint at the base. That part fits onto the rear of the tractor above the PTO.
        I believe this is what you are trying to accomplish.

            Ok, what I’m seeing is a top link in the left pic, and a simple turnbuckle with yoke ends in the right pic. I don’t see any gearbox at all. I have never heard of a top link or lift link with a gearbox. Got a pic of that?
            There are, however, hydraulic top and lift links.

              They will be hearing from me shortly as my dozer has just snapped an axle.

              Yikes! Sorry to hear that. Hope it goes smoothly.

                Adjustable lift arms are readily available. Try Affordable Tractor and Circle-G Tractor. Also Keno Tractor in Keno, OR. How about a picture of your special “end”.
                Category 1 and 2 top links are available in a variety of lengths and end configurations. Very plentiful.

                  Check to see if there is a make/model number stamped on the cylinder – it may be able to be cross referenced to other brands.

                  Kits may be available for the cylinder by providing the bore and rod size, and the cup seal type.

                  Don’t know if you’ve contacted these folks, but they may be a good source for parts and service.

                    Almost any hydraulic shop that deals with metric sized cylinders should be able to help you. If you disassemble the cylinder and get measurements of the cup seals, wiper seals, and O-rings, you can probably order the parts online yourself. These are all off-the-shelf components.

                      I must have missed the sale David, but the #39591 lights are a bargain anyway considering the 1,200 lumen output (600 lumen each). So – two for the pickup truck. three for the mixer truck, three for the skid steer, and four for the excavator. By comparison, I have a 11,500 lumen, 100 watt LED light bar on my pickup that only draws nine amps, and it literally turns the blackest night into high noon daylight for 1/4 mile. These LED’s  beat halogen (incandescent), and HID sodium lights hands down.

                        Hi Adam, welcome. Good to see you on board. :good:  :good:

                        Do you stock many dozer parts, aside from the TY395 engine?
