Thank you sir!
The first one below is close and a good candidate except the pin holes are only 1". You sure your pins are 1.25"?

The second one is also a good match but 3" short of the extended length you provided

I’ll double check tonight about the 1 1/4. Pretty sure I got that part right but you never know. Thanks

Pins measured 1.2155.
Will it make a difference that my cylinders have these ends?

Cross tube versus pin eye does not matter but both ends of the new cylinders have to fit in their respective brackets on the loader. You can cut the cross tubes down if needed but watch out for the OD of the cylinder itself. Whats the width of the base end on the OEM cylinders? It looks like they may be a pretty close fit in their bracket?

They’re 2 3/4 wide and a tight fit. I will prob need spacers if I use the ones in the link.

I have used Magister on my Compactor-Roller steering cylinder and it’s good product…. (Made in Ukraine.)

And yes…the LA1002 uses 1-3/16” (30mm) pins. I ordered some round-stock from McMaster-Carr to have on-hand for spares. ( Some Kubota skid-steers also use these.)

1-3/16 = 1.181 inches…which would be only very slightly smaller than the ends of the Magister.
Some perforated brass or s-steel screen would likely make up the difference and still allow lubrication to work.

The Magister cylinders are 2.875 wide at the base end - they would need to be ground down on the sides just like the OEM cylinders to fit.

I saw one they had

i actually saw these and haven’t had a chance to make sure everything would work but just glancing at it looks promising. It would need the spacers and I might have to figure out the pins. Mine has a more tang style end.

My caliper is a cheap one that I’ve had for years so I don’t doubt my 1.25 measurement might be a little off.
