    Posted: 16 Dec 2010 at 10:16pm
Anyone know how difficult it would be to get a WD lift cylinder to work on a B?  Right now, I'm faced with possibly needing 2 B cylinders and thought a single WD might provide me with the needed lifting power if it will fit.  Any input is appreciated.

WD cylinder is way longer. Depends how handy you are at fabricating.
 Will it fit right on?   No.
 Can it be made to work?   You bet.

you have to take the WD45 cylinder apart, cut 7 inches off the rod and barrel and "fabricate" it back together. It is 20 inches long and the B is 13.... OR you have to relocate the ancor pin under the axle  and way forward instead of on top of the axle by the seat frame.. the WD will have the power of  2-3 of the B cylinders .. will be slightly slower, but not really noticable... its a project.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

There might be something at Surplus Center that would be closer to the B cylinder and save much fabrication.

Thanks.  I looked on the website you suggested and there seems to be some 13" long cylinders with a 6" stroke.  I need to go out and take some measurements to make sure that's going to give me the lift I need.

The cylinder that came off the tractor was a 2" bore and seemed a little close to the frame towards the front.  Does anyone know if a 1 1/2" cylinder will be enough to lift my 3-point or should I try to squeeze a 2" back in.  Wasn't sure about fluid capacity on the big cylinder either.
