Hello- great forum. I've done a bunch of searches and can't seem to find anything that addresses my problem; if I've missed it please point me in the right direction.... My "new" 1978 Bobcat 722 has a very loose fit between both of the tilt cylinders and the pin that connects to the Bob-tach. In speaking to my Bobcat dealer, they indicate that this model does not use a bushing in the hydraulic piston eye, but rather the pin rides directly on the cylinder eye itself. I'm assuming that the play (probably almost 1/4 of an inch), is from a combination of wear on the pin (replaceable) and the eye on the end of the piston (not replaceable unless I had a new eye welded onto the piston). I haven't pulled it apart yet, so I'll know more once I do. Interestingly, all of the other pins on the machine are pretty tight. . So here are my questions. The dealer recommended replacing either both cylinders and pins or just the pistons and the pins- both are expensive options. Has anyone had a custom bronze bushing machined to press fit into the piston eye to take up the slack? Would bronze hold up in this enviroment (the machine will see only occasional light duty around my property). Is it likely that most of the wear has occurred on the pin and a new pin will reduce much of the slop? Any other ideas on a fix that will stand up to relatively light use? Thanks very much for any thoughts.
