Got the hydraulics going today. The speed is about perfect. It takes right at 1 second to go full stroke with the engine running about 1/2 throttle. Put on my rear blade and it had no problem lifting it. I still need to finish welding the front mount for the cylinder before I try to lift too much weight with it. Going to make a guard for the left side to cover the clevis and lift arm. I'd hate to get my leg pinched by it. Then finish tying up the hoses and add a filter. I found out Autozone sells an inline power steering filter that should work perfect. I plan on running lines to the front and back with quick connects for the other spool of the valve. I'll get some more pics this weekend.
