Hello Mike Mount,
Do you happen to remember part number for the bucket cylinder that you got from Magister Hydraulics as replacement for the one John Deere sells for $890? I broke the thread end of the rod on one of my cylinders (AH228450 Hydraulic Cylinder) and will need to replace the cylinder and would like to use the Magister Hydraulics Cylinder. For the price I will replace both cylinders on my JD 5320 with the 541 loader. Thanks for any information you can give me. Larry Hatfield

Could you please let me know what part numbers they have that fit the 541? The lift and bucket curls too if they have them.

Also, if you have to modify anything to get them to fit.

Hello Kyle,
I checked key elements of the John Deere AH228450 cylinder used on the bucket rotation (bore size, rod size, mounting hole size, total o誕ll length and most important is the cylinder stroke). The closest Magister Hydraulic Cylinder I could find that could be used as a replacement on the 541 loader is WTG 2.5 X 24. Only reason for picking this cylinder over others that would work is the hydraulic ports to hook up hydraulic lines are on top or bottom instead as on the sides. Also, the WTG 2.5 X 24 cylinder would need spacers on the 1 mounting pins to center the cylinder. Below is web site for Magister Hydraulic that shows standard cylinders. Larry

Thank you. Have you considered the Deere rebuild kits? I need to rebuild ours, but 1st I need to make the spacer that fills in the tube's internal groove...You put the spacer in to keep the keeper from falling into the groove while removing the packing or whatevertheycallit.

Use bondo if you don’t have the filler piece.

As a matter of fact I ordered the rebuild kit from my John Deere dealer yesterday. I did the repair on the cylinder rod to where it is usable. I have a lathe and was able to make the internal groove packing ring out of PVC pipe so I could remove components in the end of the cylinder. The 2 seals in the 菟acking as you call it were little hard to get out but can be done with small screwdrivers, I used 2. I値l let you know how reassemble goes and I test everything out.. Larry

If you are for sure going the repair route I would go and buy the repair kits from John Deere as it has the internal groove tool to remove everything from the cylinder.. Larry

Yes, like you I have a lathe available. I've made the same filler rings for my Deere 430 loader with smaller diameters. If you can make your own filler rings, You can get by ordering just a couple of seals/orings and packer rings for a bit cheaper.

Use bondo if you don’t have the filler piece.

That's a darn good idea.
