adsm08 3,727 #1 Posted 2 hours ago Is there a difference between the welded and non-welded cylinders, beyond the obvious of one being welded together and the other not? I swapped in a non-welded cylinder today that I picked up at the show (no idea what it was originally off of) and the threads were straight instead of pipe thread, 5/16 instead of 1/4 inch, and I had to add another hole to the lift link for my plow to get it off the ground going up, but I was almost able to lift the front axle off the ground going down, which I had never been able to do before. It dropped right in place, but it's almost like it is operating in a different length range. I'm just curious at this point. The whole point of it was so the tractor wasn't down while I send the welded one out to get resealed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
