Hello again all. I am installing a power bed lift this weekend on my gator. I bought a linear actuator for 100 bucks and just need to fab up some brackets. The lower one is easy, but does anybody have a picture on how the upper bracket looks? I can't decide what angle to mount this thing at. Also, I am making mine a power tailgate drop. That way, I don't need to get out of the seat to drop the tailgate. Thanks in advance.

Hi - whilst I don't currently have a power lift on my Gator, I've been planning to install one. I believe that the top end of the actuator just rides in the channel in the middle of the cargo bed at the back. I've had a look in the tech. manual and also at the parts list at the Deere.com site. There is no mention of an upper bracket. I've uploaded a picture of the actuator taken from the manual - see it in my pictures. ....
