Well I got it apart after much effort lol trying to find the cylinders of course discontinued called Messicks nothing tried 1 dealer by me and the discontinued warehouse no luck the hydraulic shop around the corner quoted me $12-$1500 per cylinder to make custom cylinders. Anyone have any sources or ideas? I’m soaking the clips on the cylinders to try and get them out and see what the insides look like they did move when I put air to them but I’ll see soon

Angle cylinders look like ordinary SA snow plow cylunders. Lots of sources. @$100

Lift cylinder looks like an ordunary DA cylinder. Lots of sources @$125-$150

You need to neasure retracted length, bore, and stroke

Looking now on e-bay see what I find there first if I need to make up a bushing or a stack of washers to keep it centered because the pin retainer is different I’m good with that it’s a tool not a show piece, quick Amazon search turned up that one. Thanks the brain needed that reality check kick to get moving Dan I was overly focused on the wrong solution.
