Gotcha, yeah ended up being the seals in the main cylinder, rebuilt it and seems to be working. Yeah gotta keep a real close eye on them bolts, always coming loose, got the rockshaft fixed up and ready welded, looked like the pipe broke off itself, also found about an inch long old break too, also the other side looked like it was starting to crawl so re welded that up too. Decided to check if jd has them out of curiosity, $1650 for a new one.
Wow, $1650 for that piece of pipe. Being replaceable is the only good thing about it. The fact that it is located off center from the rotation axis subjects it to bending as well as torsion loads. |
