Haban 54" front blade
 

i picked up a 54" haban front blade with my 2072 a little bit ago. i see it has a spot for hydraulic angle, but no cylinder. judging by how hard the cylinders from the IH blades are to come by, im guessing its basically the same difficulty for the Haban as well. my question is if anyone has made their own power angle on one of these blades using an aftermarket cylinder. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Yep,
The Haban blade takes the same late Cub Cadet front angle kit with the larger cylinder. I just sold a NOS one a week ago....... I remember reading somewhere a cub nut used a different cylinder and modified it to work. You'll have to search the archives.

Did you ever find a replacement cylinder? I am in the same boat and looking for measurements / specifications of the original cylinder so I can find an aftermarket one.

If there was an exact fit aftermarket, we would know about it. There isn't. Close seconds...... but not exact replicas.

Here's what you do:

Take a look at the mounts that the angle package uses.
Take a rough guess at where that point would be on the blade frame, and moldboard.
Angle the blade all the way one way and take a measurement.
Angle the blade all the way the other way and take a measurement.

This will give you a pretty good idea how long of a stroke you need. The cylinder size is not really that important. At least 1.5" bore would be fine. Once you get a cylinder, fab the mounts and location to fit that cylinder. Easy peezy.

A QL cylinder is very close to the same cylinder as the angle cylinder.
A power steering cylinder (cub cadet/john deere) is very close to the same cylinder as the angle cylinder.
