Hello,
I am restoring a Caretree 524-3P Spade, I have removed several cylinders to take over to my local cylinder rebuild shop. I am unable to get the up-down lift cylinder free from its lower pin. The pin moves back and forth until the cylinder hits the tubing protecting the long pivot pin. It seems that either the pin is seized to the hole in the bottom of the cylinder or there is some kid of roll pin or other mechanical capture device I am not seeing. i have included a picture with a circle around where the bottom of the cylinder and pivot pin are seized. Thanks in advance for any info, I have not found much info or parts diagrams...

Welcome to TBN!

Most likely the pin siezed in the end of the cylinder. Heat the pin and let cool
