I need some help identifying the bucket cylinder and/or the appropriate rebuild kit for my Ford 735 loader. The loader is on my Ford 4600 tractor. Loader has a small plate marked 19-525. I bought a shop manual and parts manual to try and identify the cylinders. I was able to identify my lift cylinders...no issues there. The problem is the bucket cylinders. They do not match the descriptions in the manual at all.
The manual says the bucket cylinder should have the following dimensions:
Retracted Length: 33 11/16"
Extended Length: 53 7/16"
Stroke: 19 3/4"
Bore: 2 3/8"
Rod diameter: 1 1/4"
However, my cylinders have the following dimensions: (Approximate, the best I could measure them.)
Retracted Length: 38"
Extended Length: 66"
Stroke: 28"
Bore: 2 1/2"
Rod diameter: 2"
My cylinders have the same old yellow paint as the rest of the loader, and seems to fit it well. I can't even see how a cylinder with the dimensions listed in the shop manual would fit? Anyone have the same issue, and know which repair kit to get?
Thank you.
