Re: (ET) rear lift

["Ralph G Vogan" <ralphgv CenturyTel net>]

I have a 18 " Satalite actuator, the problem is, it is 35 inches long when
it is retracted and over 53 inches extended.  for the rear lift it would
look like a flag pole on the back of the tractor.  The nice thing about 
them
is you can adjust the stroke with built in limit switches.  If you set up a
4" stroke for steering it would not take that long to steer from straight 
to
a full right or left turn.  But your flag pole would be sticking straight
out the side of the tractor.  I measured under my E20 and it would fit 
under
the frame on the right side, but you could only stroke about 1 inch.

 I have a 24" Von-Weiss actuator.  Yep, 36V.  Slow as molasses.  About 60
sec. full stroke.
 but it would work if you were clever.  You should be able to find these
FREE if you remove
 the old dish for someone.  It must be able to push nearly 1000 lbs.
