Ive got a D6C that the previous owner swapped out the straight blade with tilt to an angled blade but did not have a tilt cylinder for it. my machine has the plumbing and pedal for hydraulic tilt but no cylinder. i have researched this a good bit trying to locate a cylinder that will work. the angle blade i have has the manual adujtable tilt arms with the ball and cap style ends. i see many photos of these hydraulic cylinders with the same ends. if you research tilt cylinder for D6C youll find #2J1402. however, i believe this works with the straight blade connection style. in my manual i see 7J3171 and 7J3172 for dual tilt cylidners. these appear to look right but i cannot locate any of these. below i have photos of my adjustable arms and another photo of a machine with tilt cylinder. Any thoughts?
Here is the commonly found 2J1402. i can buy this today for $1,500 but it will require modifiction to the attachment to the blade and/or to the cylinder ends.
Here is the cylinder that looks like a bolt in replacement to the manual adjustment setup i have now.
By chance are you the fellow that just contacted me off of eBay about a blade I have for sale?
Thats me! im looking for the cylinders.
That blade is off of d7g. Not sure if that would be the info you're looking for off of that. When I get to the the blades next I will try to remember to look for you. But hey you can always buy a complete angle Blade with tilt for a d6c for me. The only catch is that comes with a dozer also!
.RC. Yup, thats it. but what cylinders are they? where can i find them?
Is the attached of any help.? It appears there are three possible tilt cylinder Part Numbers and of those 9T-2797 is the latest version, having replaced 1U-3495 and 7J-3171/7J-3172. The later cylinder Part Numbers are not specific LH/RH like the earlier ones. Rotating the head 180-deg changes a LH cylinder to a RH and vice versa. I found it under a 44E-prefix 6A Bulldozer Arrgt. 2 cylinders plus a 2P-6054 Lines Gp.
Very Helpful. ive done a quick search online and dont see any forsale. I have a request into Portland Tractor Inc. beyond that im not sure where else to locate one or two.... Any thoughts?
Sorry I have no idea. Hopefully someone else can give you suggestions. A quick look on Machinery Trader Parts section revealed 2 of each 1U-3495 and 9T-2797 for sale. Both were "call for price". https://www.machinerytrader.com/parts/search?SearchType=Start&PartNumber=9T2797 Also try contacting Offroad Equipment in Alcoa TN. www.offroadeq.com/
Reviving this thread. I have a D6C (#10k2726) with a stock tilt cylinder that has a ton of play in the connection to blade (all the shims have been removed - so no ability to adjust it that way). I am looking at options to replace the ball head on the rod (which I have off the machine to get re-chromed). I haven’t had any luck tracking down parts (or even part diagrams) for this. In the attached pictures the only part # I can track down is J3689 but that doesn’t come up with results when searching. I’d welcome any suggestions on where to go from here.
You are missing a number try 4j3589 that's my guess
Thanks! That looks to be the right part number.
There's a fairly good chance that the weld-on ball is 3F6492. The seems to be plenty for sale aftermarket.
