Steps to remove hydraulic cylindar

[4570Man]

Must of been using a pocket knife. at work we had so many injuries using a pocket knife to cut zipties they finally put a rule in the rule book prohibiting it. they issued us a little pair of snips just for the purpose of cutting zipties.

Yeah. I was using a pocket knife. A pair of snips would have been great, but...

And THIS is why I constantly peruse TBN threads sporteus.

I too haven't had to remove a hydraulic cylinder... yet. Your question and the knowledgeable responses have aided more than yourself. I'll certainly lock this titbit of information away in my brain-box for the future.

Probably a safety precaution to stop some 'dumb-arse' from firing up up tractor whilst his back is turned or when he's away getting the cylinder repaired.

:confused3: It can't hurt.

Well, while we are at it, better unhook both battery cables, lock battery in lockable cabnet, and drain the fuel as well. And hope the person with a spare key didnt happen to also bring a can of fuel and a spare battery.....:confused3:

I think just disconnecting the one battery cable would be sufficient.

I would hazard a guess that it's an SOP for kaleem to do this, either in his part of India or previous training.
