I have a 1993 New Holland 1215 tractor with aNew Holland 7106 loader. Last year the bucket & lift arm cylinders began leaking and the bucket ket dropping down. Being too busy to really work on it due to family & other stuff it went to the back burner.
Took the cylinders off to get rebuilt but the ends were so rusted you couldn't remove them nor did the hydraulic have parts, so I went to a local New Holland dealer and they wanted too much just for the guts. Hydraulic said. they could cut my ends off and weld them to new cylinders @$350 each. Ford said they could get me 4 new one for around $1600 + freight so I said ok. When they arrived they were just an empty cylinder with no piston etc. To get 4 replacement complete cylinders from New Holland your looking at $3,800 + freight. I are you kidding, I could probable fins another used tractor for that money or a big down payment on a new sub compact tractor which most 19hp run around $10-12K range. Left very discouraged so I started looking around for cylinders.
So I can up with a substitution that works for the 7106 loader and I believe should also work for the 7108 which is very similar. I purchased 4 cylinders that have a very close open & closed length, uses a 1" pin too. I bought these from Magister Hydraulics and they worked like a charm. Now on the right side of the bucket there is a rod that moves in and out I believe it's for letting you know when the bucket is level but I never really used it, and it attached on the upper pin that hold the bucket cylinder had to be eliminated because it was in the way of the nipple on the side of the tractor. You also need larger clamps that hold the hydraulic lines to the lift arm cylinder (4"). The port size of the cylinders are SAE 8 not 6 like on the original so I ordered 8 elbows that were sae 8 on one end and sae 6 for the hydraulic line. ($46). The original washers used aren't wide enough because the cross tubes on the new cylinders are 1 1/2" not 1 3/4" like the original so I went to 'Rural King and bought some grade 8 flat washers with a 1" hole ($4) and used those to take up the space. Had to change out the grease fittings on the lift arm top connect with a 90 so I'll be able to grease them and those are 6mm fittings.
I hope this may help some of you folks that may be in the same situation as I was. I gotta tell you this works like a charm, there a little heaver and wider but it cost me $572.00 + the parts used above.
