End cap

[Clyde Smith]

Has anyone ever had a cap on a hydraulic cylinder cap break before

It will help if you describe which cylinder on your LA302 FEL.
What were you doing when it broke.
There are things you should never do with a load like pushing with the bucket tilted.

If you are using long pallet forks the risks are even greater.

I had already taken the 2 bucket cylinders off and was going to put seal kits in them after unscrewing the cap on one of them and setting it on the table as I started replacing the seals on the head I picked up the cap to replace the seals and it fell in 2 pieces

Its not uncommon. Sometimes happens during the removsl process. In the past I have made replacements for people that had cylinders for people with ones thatbwere NLA. Did you order the replacement cylinders we discussed in your other thread?

How hard was it to take apart?

I loosened both white still attached to the loader

With a pipe wrench?

With a pipe wrench?

Yes with a pipe wrench I do not have the spanner wrench or a large vice to remove the cap

Got the magister cylinders today they are not quite what I expected the pin holes are larger along with the shaft end being narrow and the fittings is another problem

You said 1" pins - is that not what you got? Both ends are 1.5" wide which is narrower than OEM but should not be a problem. What's the problem with the ports? They should be SAE-06

Their website has a very good engineering drawing detailing all of that.

You can see they are quite abit different will need sleeves and spacers to make these work still looking for fittings from sae to kubota

I see little of consequence.

The ports on your old cylinders are probably plain old NPT. If so four of these will get the new cylinders hooked up to your hoses:

6901-06-06 | #6 SAE/ORB Male x 3/8" NPSM Female Swivel 90°

I dont see any need for spacers but if you want them get a piece of 1" PVC pipe and saw eight 3/8" slices off it.

Your originsl post said your loader had 1" pins so why do you need bushings?

My mistake they are closer to 3/4" pin holes

 

[TheOldHokie]

I thought that was rather large and it pushed things up to a 2" cylinder. I should have double checked at the time. This 1 5" cylinder would have been a better match:

Given the difference in price you could exchange the ones you have and still come out ahead on cost.
