The swing cylinder on my 709 has a plate behind it that is cupped to fit the round backside of the cylinder. There are some thin shims behind that as well. Seems like there are several 3/8 bolts that hold the shims and that cupped piece in place.  When the cupped piece and shims come down the teeth open up some and allow the cylinder to come down.  Oh, I was surprised to see there are 2 cylinder rod assemblies in one cylinder barrel. I hope this is helpful. Also here is the parts catalog link for the 709 that shows how it looks.   [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bobcatpartsonline.com/#/catalogBrowser?path=%2F0000-Attachments%2F0000-Backhoe%2F0002-Loader%2F0009-709%20Backhoe%2F0004-Backhoe%20(709)%20(Main%20Frame%20Hydraulics)%0A(S%26%2347;N%20270000101%20%26%20Above)[/URL]</blockquote>
