Well I’m glad they are getting you fixed up… but /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif is there an issue with the piston, as Ben Towle said “looks like cast aluminum inside”. Along with the bending/breaking of the rod.
JerryG has the most concise description “The piston is the flat like round aluminum thing on the inside that you can't see. The rod is the chrome or dark rod that goes in and out.” /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Also as stated by BandDcabinet “Does anyone know the diameter of the replacement cylinder? It would be nice to know so that owners could check the cylinders on BH75s to see if they have the new or old cylinders.” /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
It is beginning to sound like the replacement is just anything that is available? Rod diameters of 1 ½”, 3cm, 32mm?? Those are all different measurements…
1 ½” is 38.1mm; 3cm is 30mm; 32mm is Hmmmm…. ? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif somewhere between the two???
It would be nice if the replacement was consistent /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif… KennyV.

I measured mine today with a caliper. Both cylinder rods measure 1.200 inches or 30.7 mm (1.21x25.4) so I'm not sure what to think... Are these the new cylinders?? I could not find a part number. I took delivery in mid July. I wonder if there is a serial number after which the new cylinders became the standard? My BH75 is Serial number 10343. What do you think are these the larger cylinders??

I would go with the post above mine that says 32mm. My tractor is 80miles away so i cannot double check till weekend.
I may have been way off since i was in hurry.
I would go to the Kubota site and and use the contact us selection. That is what i did asking about if was bigger cylinder. 36 hrs later a kubota rep called me and explained about newer replacement cylinder and told me he called my dealer to make sure he was ordering the newer cylinder.
Maybe you can ask how to know if you have the new or old cylinder and you are worryied it will break out of warranty.
Plus you'ed rather replace now since you've heard so many problem. A planned exchange out of cylinder is a lot better than it breaking out in the field and Hydralic fluid all over the place. Kubota rep was excellent with me.

I checked mine and it has the 30X495 stamped on the cylinder casing. And a part number of 7K501-32012.
I have not had mine replaced... is this the old part number???
The Serial number on my BH75 is 10635.

Jason,
I really do not know ,although the 30x495 is same as what is on mine. I do not remember seeing a PK number. and you're model number is a little differnet than the post from dealer above reply. I would give that part number to you're dealer to see if its the replacement or e-mail Kubota like i did to be sure.
