Quick update. Finally got everything pulled together and installed the cylinder. Everything is back together and working. Only hitch is that I must have measured something wrong. The leg goes up and down fine and holds pressure, but it doesn’t go all the way up. So sticks out a little bit past...

Nice. Everything except the bushings are ordered. Need to locate the correct width. I'll let you know how I make out.

Nice! Available on Amazon for $8 each. Seems like this might work after all. The cylinder diameter is a little larger than the OEM cylinder, hopefully it still fits n the stabilizer leg.

1/4” ID hoses

Dan - Existing are 1/4”. But the new cylinder is SAE 8.

Thanks for the heads up Sam. I ordered one from Tractor supply which has flush ports, see image below. Figuring I’ll put two 1/2”F x 1/4”M 90s on it. Do you think I’ll have any issues with that setup?

Using a tape measure, I come up with 21-1/8 for the retracted length. Basically lifted the stabilizer leg all the way up and measured from center of pin to center of pin. Thinking it's probably 22". Cross tube fit is good. The leg connection is 4-3/16" wide, so it has bushings on either side of...

The shop I brought it too is pretty reputable, been around for a long time and recommended by a friend who owns a bunch of equipment. I know of another reputable shop that's an hour away. Just thinking that what they do won't be cheaper than a new one for $229 plus tax. Plus it'll save me a...

Yeah, doesn't seem too bad to me, but I'm a novice on this kind of stuff. Between labor and parts I was thinking the cost would be close to what a new replacement would cost. The new one posted by GreensvilleJay is $229. Any idea what a typical cost for repacked cylinder would be? I'm in MA.

Piston was apparently too scored. Rebuild and repack was going to be $600.

I think so, thanks! I just picked my old original cylinder up from the hydraulic shop. I’ll try and measure it up. My pins are 3/4”. The holes in this one are 1”. I’ll need to track down some bushings. Looks like 1” to 3/4”…one at 2-1-2” long Yes, very similar. The end connection is a little...

Hi All: I need to replace a stabilizer cylinder on my Woods BH-7503. The original part number is 62498. Unfortunately, they are +/- $900, so I am looking for an alternate option. Surplus Center has one by Prince Mfg - Wolverine 9-8771-14 that looks like it will work, but it's out of stock. I am...
