Had an Uncle worked in Wichita at Cessna (must been a pretty savvy guy) died In1972. Cessna made a run of cylinders for Case, For some reason they didn't work or work right so they went to the scrap heap, the engineers couldn't figure the problem out so I was told. Uncle Glen asked for a couple of them, snuck them back inside and fixed the problem. I can remember Dad had one on the 3-14 AW plow he pulled with the DC it was a 4 inch. When Dad traded the DC in on the 730 the dealer knew the story and swapped him a brand new cylinder for the old 4 inch. [Reply]  [No Email]

They were great cylinders, although eventually the grooves on the depth latches would round off and then slip. I have rebuilt several. I have been told by a former dealer that they were manufactured at the Burlington backhoe factory. [Reply]  [No Email]

The oldest ones we have do have a depth control on them and are about 4" in diameter. Never seen any green ones. The lifting bail ones are a short stroke cylinder not the 8" stroke.
