Hey all,
I have managed to bend the two cylinders on my 70HP kubota for the front bucket curl control. Dealer wants $650 for each cylinder or $250 for just the rams and $60-$70 for the pack kit. Trying to figure out which way I should go or if there is a better way.
Dealer is a little concerned the cylinder may not be rebuildable. Is there a quick way to check?
I was back grading and heard a loud pop and knew something happened. I did have the bucket rolled pretty far out and I must have hit something. I stopped the tractor and got out and looked things over, but did not see anything. I did not notice any problems until tried to roll the bucket back down (up was fine) and go back to work. When I finally got the rams to extend, I could see the bow. It's not bad, but it will prevent the bucket from rolling down. It is a slight bend...any chance of bending them back?
This could not of happened at a worst time for me. Any help would be great.
