Joined not too long ago, I picked up a decent setup for my first CUT tractor.
B8200HST with the mentioned FEL, back hoe, and tiller.



and have built some forks.


After using the FEL for a year or so, I have two issues that I need to ask questions about.
#1 I have a curling cylinder that has a blown seal, I assume this due to me being able to push or pull the rod around.
Has anyone sucsessfully rebuilt one, and roughly how much was the cost? I have found a few but no finished threads on these rebuilds. If its not too bad, I plan to rebuild all four on the FEL.

#2 The lifting capacity on this loader is 700lbs at pin. Is this due to the working PSI of the hydro system, or the lifting pistons themselves, or engineered this way? Reason asking, I have a two "upgradable" pistons ready to swap in for a very good price. Is this something I could do? Granted, I will not try to lift a front end of a car or anything like that. I just want to have a little more umff in lifting strenght.

I apprecaite your time. I how to add some threads as I work more on my tractor.
