These plugs are solid, with no vent. Maybe I can find a plug that vents to keep this working right awhile longer.
Maybe the place that builds my hydraulic hoses will have one.
Probably will do that when I hook up next time. I have it unhooked from my tractor right now because that tractor is in hay moving mode.I’d loosen one of those plugs and see if fluid has built up behind ram.
Yeah, it looks like it to me as well, and the other batwing shredder I have looks like that.#11 is the breather
Must be. The bottom of the cylinder has two outlets. I've posted pics of both.It's magical. Must be for sure.
Must have a one way Chevron type piston seal to accomplish this. Just thinking that crd and oil bypassing to the base possibly causing the problemNeither of them plugs in the pictures look like vents. Single acting cylinders can work with one port plugged they just compress the air on the blind side. This could be a cushion effect when winging up. Not normal but can be done.

Solid??? How does the cylinder vent then?
I'm thinking that as well. Probably going to remove the solid plug and put a vent plug in. After 10 years of pretty substantial use, the seals have to be letting some fluid by.Must have a one way Chevron type piston seal to accomplish this.
