When I pulled the lift cylinder off of "Johnny Cash" I decided to send it to @wheelhorseman and have it rebuilt. Today, I decided I might as well put it on my C-120 since the one I bush-fixed still leaves a few drips wherever I park it. May just send it in for rebuild also, since Lowell does such a nice job! 

 

I thought I'd have to overhaul the lift cylinder on my 522xi, but after cleaning off the muck that was hiding the leak, it turned out to be a slightly loose fitting, which was fine with me, since I have other projects that I'd rather work on than hydraulic cylinders. Considering the time I've spent rebuilding various hydraulic cylinders over the years, I'd seriously consider sending them out as well.

 

However, stubborn as I am,  I recently rebuilt the two steering cylinders on my old Case loader/backhoe myself. There were a couple of %&!*$#! moments, but they're both back together again and working perfectly.

 

One of the cylinders after cleaning and painting, and ready to reassemble with some new internal parts and ball joints.

 

Back together again:

Started on a new guard for the Bronco muffler. Still gotta trim the edges and repaint the muffler itself, but the hard part is done. Used my last piece of stainless grid, but it's all good. 

 

Welding on a muffler is a pain. Only had to repair one blowout about 1/8 inch, but still frustrating.

Definitely takes finesse. I have replaced more than one heat shield support in my time. Patience is key to the successful completion. Thankful for my Tig welder.
