    Front End Loader Curl not holding position

    I did something really stupid!

    I did a jerk job also, at the end of my HST fluid change I noticed I forgot to put the filter magnets in the new filters and lost over 5 gallons of new fluid onto the workshop floor while getting the magnets in the new filters. Won't do that again.

    Engine Rebuild gone wrong?

    It's up to you if you think you over damaged the exterior of the piston wall/sleeve, if it has a sleeve? let an experienced mechanic see it in person the rest of us are working with a picture. I would not weld on the sleeve due to possible penetration and distortion, but carefully and slowly...
