I suggest you investigate TWO NEW aftermarket cylinders. Probably the most reliable and least expensive repair.

The OEM cylinders are basically generic cylinders. You need to measure them and then match them up.
You need to know the OEM bore, stroke, retracted length, and size of the pins.

This is very close but 2" bore. Should work and give you about 24% more breakout force. Check the dimensioned drawing to make sure it will fit the mounting ears on your loader

Thanks, Dan. I ordered 2 but the pin hole where they attach to the top clevis is 2 3/4 inches long but the clevis is only 2 7/16 inches wide. I never thought to measure there thinking that everything else was compatible. Since then I have found 2 more cylinders through this forum, 1 in Michigan and the other in Texas. I bought both but now am realizing I may have been scammed. Their money was received on 10/16 and 10/19 respectively with assurances that the cylinders would be shipped when the money was received. Today is 11/02 and neither one has been delivered and none of my correspondence has been answered. I asked for tracking numbers but received no response. Guess I'm back at square one. Luckily the amounts were reasonable, not that I could afford any loss. I'm sure they will receive their just rewards in the end. IF I'm wrong and the cylinders arrive as promised, I will certainly be back on line to let everyone know. In the meantime, I should advise everyone to be very careful who you are dealing with in this forum. Also I am asking for anyone's recommendation on any tractor recycling (junkyard) facility that they may know about. Have a great day and God Bless.
