Eric walks through a specific thread-adapter problem, SAE-8 recessed ports on the Michigan Iron cylinder vs. BSP-19 banjo fittings from the Discount Hydraulics AMA kit, and explains the JIC workaround he landed on. He shares part numbers, Parker sourcing, and a full cost breakdown (~$430 total). Useful mainly to anyone tackling this exact hydraulic fitting challenge.
Posted by the MinnesotaEric channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing hands-on project work from personal experience.
No single adapter exists, so Eric uses a JIC fitting with an O-ring to retain fluid, since JIC thread pitch matches British standard, then adapts up from there.
About $58 for the Discount Hydraulics check valve, $73 for Parker fittings, and around $300 for the Michigan Iron cylinder, roughly $430 total.
So the cylinder won't creep if a hose pops or fails, keeping the tilt position secure during use.
