Re: Another Tigercat...
Thanks guys.
I was thinking the same thing Nate. The cylinders for the grapple have enough exposed rod that i could put a helper spring on there. I think I will wait and see how often it opens goofy before I change anything.
The fittings are SAE(10-32x1/8" and 10-32x5/32") and sourced through a local Hydraulic shop in Victoria. They are meant to be used on truck air lines and so on. I use them on the Volvo too and have never had a failure so far at 32bar. Metric is available too but harder to get. They are a bit big for smaller cylinders like this but are about $4-6 each and often in stock at the local shop. If they don't have them they are typically an overnight item from Vancouver. A banjo style is available too and has a slightly lower profile.
