I'm Steve, new owner of a ford jubilee and looks like new mechanic for said tractor as well. Long story short hydraulics worked fine until we tried using a plow. Sudden loss of hydraulics, no fluid leaking outside. While investigating cause of problem I looked in the inspection port on the left side of the rear section. I could see fluid shooting out in a fine line from the right side of thehydraulic lift assembly and noticed the piston was pushed out of the cylinder casting and the piston rod had fallen down. I pushed the piston back in with a pry bar and could see the bottom of the casting is busted off. Any tips on what would cause this and the best way to fix my problem would be greatly appreciated.[/b]
