How To Build My Power Angle Project

Got a project that you are working on that is not a tractor? Maybe a barn to hold your tractors or just fun stuff like woodworking, glass, tools, sheds, gardens, custom implements, etc., this is the place to talk about it.

How To Build My Power Angle Project

Postby jostev » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:54 pm

I was sick and tired of getting on and off the cub every couple of minutes to angle the plow because of the type of driveways I did I was always having to change the angle, so after a while of looking on the forum, I got a bunch of ideas for power angle. So I started to get the stuff to do it, and over time, a few months, I got all of the stuff I “needed“ for the project, minus hose fittings and smaller stuff like that.

    1 - 2 spool Gresen Valve, old used valve from a loader on a tractor cost=75$
    1 - 1x24” double acting piston (too long but I had it in the garage, so I used it)
    1 - Bypass block off of eBay cost=25$


When I bought my bypass block, I started asking some friends about a valve, one of my friends had a 2 spool valve, with all of the hoses that he wasn’t’ sure ifn he wanted to sell, in the end I bought it for 75 bucks. After I got some time off of school to build everything, I started laying out my plans.

Since I had such a long piston, and I wasn’t really looking into buying one, I decided to mount the rear of my piston to where the axle pivot rod [“pin“ (part no. 650132 R1)] that holds the square lifting arms (brackets welded assembly) {part no. 651270 R91} and I substituted a 1x15+/-” galvanized bolt (that I also had laying around) for the pin.

Then I took my blade and lifted it off of the floor so I could angle it by hand without any problems. I then decided the best place for the piston, which I figured out by cutting some threads off of a very large and long bolt, and that would be my “pin” to hold the piston down. Image
Then I took a square piece of 3/8” steel and welded it to the triangle part of the blade, which I knew would be strong. Image

Then I welded my “pin” the piece of bolt to the plate
Image

One problem I had was that my piston was way too long, but since I had it on hand, I didn’t need to buy another one, I just have to watch how far angled my plow goes.

After I got the piston mount figured out, I started to assemble my bypass block. I did have a problem with my type of block that I didn’t’ have clearance to mount a regular hydraulic fitting, but I don’t remember exactly why, so I used a water pipe fitting, which has held up with absolutely no problems after a year. Before I assembled everything, I looked at the drawing on the plans that I received with my block, and I figured out that I needed these:

And this is what the block looked like after I put my fittings on:

When I bought my bypass block, it came with these directions:
Image
They helped quite a lot actually, and it also came with a gasket, even though I had a new one because I was in the process of rebuilding my touch control also.


After I got my bypass block all mounted
Image
I started to mount my hoses from the block to my valve.

After I was done that, I then attached the hoses from the valve to the piston
Image
Eventually I hope to add steel lines on the frame, with shorter hoses for flex.

When all was said and done, I just had to figure out a place to mount my valve, and for that winter I just had the valve by my feet, which did get old after a while, but I didn’t get any good ideas until this past summer when Nik (kinelbor) made a mount for my loader.
Image
This is a good spot, but it does tend to get in the way of the shifter, but I it still does shift, so as long as it works, I’m fine with it.

I added quick disconnects to the hoses a few weeks ago, and I think that this will be a good idea once I put them on my loader also.

Here is a link to the rest of all my pictures of my Power Angle Blade Project.
