And if yes what grade of steel did you make the new one from? Hydraulic cylinder shafting is normally chrome plated you have to chamfer the end you are going to weld large enough to make sure no chrome gets in the weld. If you made it from something else like like 1045TGP (turn, ground, polished)the higher carbon requires a slow cooling period after welding or the weld will be brittle.</p></blockquote><p></p>
