Blasterdad 3,044 #2 Posted February 14, 2023 A few options... The one below will likely cost more because you said the "shaft" was bent, assuming you meant the piston. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/welded-cylinder-repair/ or... https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/169-a-z-tractor/ or... https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/177-kb-horse-parts/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sailman 1,299 #3 Posted February 15, 2023 Second what he said Call for extra $$ to replace the shaft/piston. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/welded-cylinder-repair/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 14,334 #4 Posted February 15, 2023 One the piston is bent, it's compromised and likely will bend again. Of course, the only way to bend it is by using a solid lift link for down pressure, as the cylinders on these machines lift on the pull stroke. I think most of the mid lift cylinders are the same dimensions. Do youself a favor and get one that is rebuildable. Supposedly the older welded ones can be cut, rebuilt, and re-welded- but that is alot of work, and I'd be worried that I'd melt the o-rings out of it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
