Yes My HD6G has one screw type adjuster and one hydraulic adjuster that I made.  I have a better design If I ever do it again. I would consider selling this one. |

I designed it in autocad. I can mail a copy of the drawing I worked from if you have access to a machine shop. PM your address. I used 2" ID 0.250 wall DOM tubing 15" long. The thread on the AC adjuster is 1.600 OD 5.5 threads per inch. Like I said I made it. The rod diameter I used is 1.750 Dia. A purchased hydraulic cylinder would not be up to the task. |

| Very neat job. One good thing I noticed was it still has the place to use the wrench on. |

| Also note that I drilled and tapped (2) places on the yoke for grease fittings. The original screw adjuster was rusted in place. I drilled these holes to lubricate the screw so I could remove it. |

| Not saying what you may find, but always check out Surplus Center for hydraulic cylinders for odd ball uses. If you have room for bigger than you need,I would beat you can find one for a very reasonable price. |
