Subject: RE: Re chrome a cylinder rod?


sw corner ia.
this sounds pretty rednecky.. but the lift cylinder rods on my D6 had some pretty deep scratches that ruin seals pretty quickly, so instead of spending the 2500 or so for a new rod (I had them apart on my bench) I super cleaned the areas, and smeared jb weld in the cracks. then I polished it smooth. then I put new seals back in and went to work.

lasted the 30 hours or so I used it after that with no leaks and the epoxy is still there.

I figured I wasn't out anything to try except my time which isn't highly valued..
