Kevin you gave me a idea that may be the easiest and I say easiest since I am not a good welder. If I was a bad welder that would be an improvement. But with your idea I could use the clamps around the cylinder and using caution on overtightening, mount a flat plate using the 4 legs of the...

I got the ideal..I found a pic of a spillter were the valve was mounted under a flat plate with a slot for the handle and the plate was fastened to the beam some how. But it looked to low from the other side for me. But I can see how yours might work for me. I'm trying to visualize the hoses to...

so the square tubing welded to the top of the beam and the flat was like a platform?

Josh I'll go ahead and get a OEM part from Champion and I'm looking int moving the valve. Thanks

Rancher, I was thinking today about this and how I could mount a bracket. I first thought of a "bridge" type that would go up and over the cylinder but that would be too much then I though about a flat plate off the side of the beam and run a HP hose up to the cylinder. That's the simplest I...

Well you gave me another issue to worry about! I agree it's not the best setup and never thought about the stress issue until you brought it up. What I will do is try and find a OEM part that will at least bring it back to factory specs. I may have a mount fab'd and mount it and redo with a hose...
