I have a tlb and recently the piston broke off the ram during normal operation, nothing significant happened at the moment to cause any damage. So a couple questions about that. What would cause that? So I took the cylinder off and left the lines open (just put a towel over the inlets)and was going to move the tractor out of the shop for the time being. When I started the tractor fluid flowed out of both hoses. Is that normal? I guess I thought no fluid would move with out the joystick engaging the extend or retract.
