350B manual 6 way blade

[cwheat]

Hello,

I just acquired a 350B gas burner with a manual adjust inside mount 6 way blade. Has anyone tried to add a tilt cylinder and use the aux. hydraulic circuit to power it. Have been looking and thinking that it would not take too much to make it a power tilt that would greatly increase the ease of operation. Looks like welding cylinder mounts to the blade and bracket that the wedges are located in and sizing a cylinder with the right stroke would work if the radius guide would not hang during the movement of the blade. Just thought someone else may have already tried to modify one.

Thanks,

Charles

If you add a power beyond plug in the main control valve, you can add a 2 spool valve to it and make a real 6 way blade as long as you're handy fabricating brackets and adding hydraulics..You're only as limited as your abilities..

I have the complete inside manual blade with most parts & the main frame that lifts the blade. $350 in central West Virginia in case you want to make something without ruining your set up.
