Lots to consider. You will probably have to go down to a 2.5 inch bore or up to a 3. As already stated you can bush the pin if need be. 1" stop collars make pretty good spacers if you need to shim the sides. When I used generic cylinders on my loader I had to trim an 1/8" off each side of the head end tubes and used a stop collar on each side of the rod end. I might could have found a closer fit in a tang instead of the cross type I used but I was having new hoses made anyway.

In addition to bore and pin size you need to consider:
Retracted length
Extended length
port size
port location (side or top)

Many things to consider. I am thinking going down to a 2.5 for clearance. I know the retracted length and will go tomorrow to measure one at my dealer. Port location is key. Port size I think will be pretty standard but unsure. Bottom line is I will be calling the professionals who probably know the brand well and ask what I need and get signed up. I have the measurements if needed but will to bet they have them also.

So if I am a KMW 1220 which I would think it has a good chance of being it calls for a 2.25" tilt cylinder diameter. When I put my calipers on the outside it measures 2.8 inches. I guess I better read up on how they are measured. I pretty much only find them in a 2.5" which I would expect would be fine except some grinding to get into the mounts. My top mount is 2.75 inches wide and the bottom mount is 2.25 inches wide and I take a 1.4" shaft 19.25 inches eye to eye closed. If indeed this is a 2.25" cylinder by their measurements things start lining up a bit nicer. KMW shows it as part number 3150-2130. In 2014 the price was $536 each. My dealer wants 2100 for a pair. I want to be $500 or less in the pair. I still think it is best to just call the professionals tomorrow and they probably know this loader pretty well.

This is worth the read. Talks about changing curl cylinder size on his Mahindra.

I remember reading it. I need a fit now setup. Mine tilts very well so no real need to stress it more. It was a good informative setup he did.

How did you come up with a bore size of 2.75 ?

 

[screamin400]

Measured 2.8 with my calipers. I have now seen a tag on the loader. Made in Korea as I originally thought at really this is a TYM tractor. The loader is a 2655cl. Looking forever online I find it is a 2.6" bore. Try finding that. I am back to looking at 2.75 and grinding the mounts down to where I need them to get this tractor back to work asap. Like I have been thinking it is time for me to call a professional before I spend money and give myself a really tough job.

The reason I ask was it seems like a big cyl for a 55hp tractor to me. Thanks.

They are a 1.4 inch shaft. I have never had to replace before so have no idea if they are large or not. I know it can lift and tilt just about all I ask of it.
