Internal cylinder shim?

[City Farmer]

My honest suggestion will be to call an expert if you don't have a clear idea about how to proceed. There are many hydraulic motor repair services and you can avail the service of one of them.

Thanks for the link but this is not a big job. Taking parts to the shop is not and never will be for me, I'm DIY all the way. After looking at the cyl. rod, I could just move the piston shoulder back 5/8 and re-thread but a spacer is an easier fix.

I had to turn around the spindles and move the tie rod to the front to make it all go together. Its just a bad angle for the picture. There's a 3/8-1/2" of clearance between the cyl. bracket and the tire at full lock. I'll have it all back together tonight. The new pins and cyl. spacer are made up.

This puzzles me. How did you keep the steering angles correct? Did you bend the steering arms?

All I did was move the tie rod brackets around, right to left and left to right. Everything else stayed the same. I'll get some pictures of everything when I'm finished, it should be tonight.

I agree with JJ in that you want to fasten the puck in place before the piston so that it doesn't scratch the rod.

I finished it up this weekend, It works perfect! I have to get the loader back on and see how she works with a full scoop of dirt.
