Anybody Modify Aftermarket Cylinder for B219 Loader ?
I have seen a couple posts about a Maxim Cylinder.. or this Dalton http://www.daltonhydraulic.com/dalton-welded-tube-cylinder-2-bore-x-18-stroke for $160 delivered. but no followup on modifications?
It seems the brackets need to be cut down a little to 1-7/8" ?
And maybe use a pipe for a shim so the 5/8" Kubota pins will work ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, as my rod has heavy pitting and appears it is bent.
If I do not hear from someone who has modified theirs to fit, I may end up spending $200 + Seals on having new rod for mine. (However I do not know the condition of the barrel housing yet)
This opposed to spending $150-$160 on the Maxim or Dalton Cylinder HOPING I can modify it and get it to work.
