[QUOTE="wateka, post: 128134, member: 21519"] The damage question prompted a good idea. Replacing with new part is always a sure bet, but with the ability to see the the damage, and knowing my expected usage, the repair route was the direction I went. The damage occurred by a tab on the lift arm support that was somehow bent inwards. When the operator lowered the lift arm support on to the cylinder, the bent tab dug into the lift cylinder head. Thinking about how the damage occurred gave me the idea to swap heads between the left and right lift cylinders. The bent tab has been repaired and the lift support is only on the right side, so swapping the heads was a good thought - thanks for asking the question. [ATTACH type="full"]4322[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
