I have decided to upgrade my wood splitter by adding a bigger rod into the cyl. The cyl currently is 5in bore and a 2in rod and I am wanting at least a 3in rod. Doing this to decrease return speed, as return load is minimal. Cyl uses a screw in barrel rod cap/gland. I need someplace I can buy just the cap and gland. I will probably also replace the piston seals while I have cyl apart, doesnt need it, but better to do it now than build the cyl and have to tear it apart later. There is nothing worng with the cyl as is, I just want to speed up the cycle times. I bought the cyl new at Northerntool and have already bored out the hose ports. I wll most likely have to add a dump valve once I replace the cyl rod. My problem is finding someone that sells just the cap and gland, so looking for a good parts source.
