Thanks guys.
Made a clevis for the cylinder. The end of the rod has been broken off and welded back on so I will try to clean up the weld and make it look a little better. At least they welded it back on straight.
Mounted the valve under the seat and started plumbing it. Need to make the hoses from the valve to the lift cylinder yet. I'd like to add a filter to the return line if I can find a small one.
New rock shaft. Need to make the pins for the deck lift arms and finish welding it.
Started making the levers for the valve. Have to make a bracket for them to mount to and pivot on. They're just mocked up for now.
