[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 7446, member: 782"] I hear you on the chrome section of the rod replacement , I have done that on big rods for Cats and Komatsu that cost 3 grand up for just the chrome , and the savings is great , but usually I find most Bobcats rods are so small that the dealers prices isn't too bad compared to the price to rebuild and the wait time at the machine shop , this 442 seems an exception as it cost a fortune , have also played with rechroming but that doesn't seem to always stick good and peels off sometimes , but this procedure is even cheaper for me as long as there are not too many scrathes as my welder says don't want to do a rod that is totally scraed up , he TIG' sstainless steel into the gouges and grinds and buffs it out , and the only difference you see is the shine is a little duller , I am wondering how it would work on a hydraulic concrete breaker piston thats scrathed up Don [/QUOTE]
