Need a boom cylinder(s) for FEL

CTWright · Oct 19, 2015

I've been having trouble with my FEL since reinstalling it. The boom would lift extremly slow, if at all. After replacing the diverter valve and then the selector valves I finally found the problem. The right side cylinder was bent. The boom cylinder looks to be 2" ID and about 42 inches long collapsed.
c The attachment points are 1.5" diameter and cylindrical with a 3/4" hole for the pin. Aluminum threaded on ends and casing. Anybody know where I might find one (or two). No data plate so I have no idea what brand it is.

A good local hydraulic shop could repair that by replacing the bent tube.

That might be worth a try. I'm not finding anything matching the pin ends and 40" collapsed length online except in Australia.

Found the cylinders that are on my FEL. Looks like a previous owner must have had access to an auto hauler as the cylinders are identical. Have the damaged one fixed locally by hydraulic shop.
