I have 1969 Case 580ck with a model 33 backhoe. One of the backhoe stabilizer piston rods snapped in two when a large rock rolled into it. While I look for a replacement for the cylinder, I'd like to bypass that broken cylinder.
I am thinking that I can just disconnect the two hydraulic lines at the stabilizer cylinder and connect the two lines with a coupling. Will this work or will the fluid work against itself with such a bypass? Any thoughts on how better to easily bypass the broken cylinder?
Thanks.
