While we are at rear remotes
I have a red JD … A Yanmar 235 made in 2020. I wanted some rear remotes and top and tilt cylinder. Its next to impossible to get a ready made solution or kit for what I wanted, and so I had to fabricobble my own together. The brackets are all made out of stainless steel as i work mostly in the marine environment and so that is what I use a lot of the time. I had a couple of hoses made up , running from the supply lines normally used for a backhoe. and the rest I got mostly from the Surplus center and TSC. I did not like the speed of the tilt cylinder and so tapped one of the 14″ NPT fittings with an M8 tread, made a grub screw out of a bolt and drilled it through the center with a 0.5mm drill to restrict the oil flow. So Now I have 3 rear remotes and am using two of them for the top link and tilt cylinder. All together it was under 1000$ and half a day of work. As a side note, yes one can weld on a ready made welded cylinder as long as one has some rags and a bucket of water at hand. I had to modify both ends of the tilt cylinder to fit my needs.
