[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 59096, member: 7905"] I did the right hand lift cylinder rebuild this morning. Not too bad. The cap was pretty crusty and it took a pipe wrench to get loose. I purchased a spanner that was pretty much useless. Too short, not enough leverage. Local Bobcat sold me the wrong seal kits (for tilt) so I had to make an extra trip by there. But now I've got seal kits for all the cylinders because you know they're all going to fail sooner than later. I also had to have a hydraulic hose made for that lift cylinder. The original was splitting but not leaking yet. I'll speculate that was part reason the seals failed with rubber particles migrating into the cylinder. The inner most seal was completely shoot and came out in a bunch of ragged pieces. But... now I've got a pretty solid loader and I loaded my first piece of equipment with the new fork attachment. This thing is going to save a lot of wear and tear on my back! [/QUOTE]
