Default NF hydraulic lift

So I know there has been a ton of people that have added hydro pumps in various places on their tractors that did not previously have them. I also know that plenty of people use the NF hydo lift that IH sold. Why haven't more people added the ported pumps to their NF and ran with that? I am planning to try this with my 123.

The plan is to add a ported pump, then add a lift cylinder in the same place that the IH lift cylinder is placed, just without the pump. Does anyone know the bore or stroke of the IH lift cylinder? I have looked long and ... medium (mabey not truly "hard" but I have looked) and I cant come up with cylinder details. I wont have any crazy hydo needs so I don't see any reason the ported pump wouldn't suffice for my needs, plus the advantage of the lack of fab needed is an advantage. Has anyone done this type of set up? does anyone have examples of control valve mounting locations? I have found multiple pump mounting options, but less control valve locations. I have seen the tree spool under the seat but would prefer a slightly more factory appearance. Sorry if this is not very organised, it was kind of a brain dump to get some ideas out there.

Many years ago, my electric lift went bad on my 147, and raising a young family, money was tight, so I kept looking around and thinking what am I going to do? The guy that I worked for had a junk 67 fairlane convertible outback that I stripped the top lift parts off. Mounted the pump/reservoir on top of the motor in front of the gas tank and ran wires to factory cc electric switch. Now the Ford lift cylinder had no mounting eye on the end so I used a piece of 3/16 X 1" flat steel the length of the cylinder and 2 muffler clamps to mount it. [ didn't look that good but it worked great] Motor/ reservoir mounting looked almost factory. This setup promptly overloaded the ign. switch and burned it up but after a new switch and installation of 2 relays off the ign. switch it still works good to this day.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
