Hey all, I've got an S300 that I just bought used and the bobtach was never really maintained on it. Pins are both seized up that hold the attachments, levers are rusted all to heck and one of the weld-in bushings that faces the cab to hold the levers is sheered off. The hydraulic cylinder seems shot, too because when I push the in / out button for the bobtach it just comes out a little bit and then jumps back in. Tomorrow I am going to cut that old bushing out and replace it and I have a compete rebuild kit for the levers, pins, springs. etc. However.... i'd like to just remove the hydraulic cylinder for now until I can afford to have it rebuilt. What's the best way to approach this? I thought about just capping the hydraulic lines at the cylinder and then tying them up and out of the way someplace. But I dont know what type of caps / plugs I need for these. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I found some JIC plugs and caps on eBay but I dont know if that's the right thread configuration and I am unsure of what size they are, too. Thanks in advance!
