Trying to find the right cylinders

[dmikee]

I have a kubota L3000DT with a Rhino Bucket kit. I provided the picture with model # and serial number and the dealer can't confirm proper cylinder.
L408 is Rhinos model # and serial number 10271
It has a 1.75 bore and I need to confirm stroke. I would like to put 2 new ones on. Any help would be appreciated.

What's the reason for the new cylinders if you don't mind me asking? If those are leaking, you can just replace the seals.

Have to replace 1 so prefer a match at this stage

Oh yeah! Makes perfect sense!

Take some dimensions, from pin to pin, both closed and open, pin diameter and check Magister Hydraulics. They often have a good selection of cylinders.

Have you checked to see if a hydraulic shop can make up a new rod? That would likely be cheaper than two cylinders, unless they can be bought at scrap price.

That'll learn ya.

Yep, get out your calipers and tape measure and get to writing some numbers down.

Happens to all of us eventually bud.

Measurements: Retracted length, retracted pin centers, stroke, bore and rod diameter, 2500-3000 psi will do for a tractor.

Given what happened, it's likely less cost to get a slightly beefier matched pair from surplus center, Magister, TSC and fit up new cylinder mounts of necessary.

Cylinders and fab is probably cheaper than the part number from any dealer.
