I'm rebuilding the hydraulic cylinder for a gannon with rippers and I'm not sure which gets the correct piston. The one in the middle with what seems like spring loaded ball bearings for pressure reduction...for overload? I would imagine its the cylinder for the rippers since the tilt cylinder and top link cylinders

wouldn't need it. Sound right...put it in the ripper cylinder? I'm usually good about keeping parts in order but this had so much gunk they all looked the same..
Thanks.

Color me confused????? 🤨

Did you randomly rip three cylinders apart and juggle the guts? 🤪
And they just happen to be all the same internal and external size. 🤔

Close. I kept them all separated and then thought the guts were the same when I put them in the parts washer only to see under the crud some holes... I will be more awake next time. I think I was just amazed I got them open. One took about 200 lbs of torque to open.
