Believe me i have already kikt myazall the way into next week for needless unnecessary costly repairs

That shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Are you sure it doesn't screw out?

Can the cylinder be disassembled? If so it could be drilled and taped, or a threaded fitting welded in place over it.

If you are not comfortable fixing it, try a hydraulic shop. They should be able to repair it or make a suggestion.

I have never seen any hyd cylinder that did not have screw in fittings. I can see no way they could be press fit because of the hyd pressure used in hyd systems

My local hydraulic shop owner would fix that on his coffee break. I'll bet that you have a good shop not too far away.

Bobcat welds on all their fittings.

I bet it screws out. Look closer at the other cylinder to see how it's made.

I have removed several broken fittings from cylinders. I don't waste time looking for easy outs. I go straight to my drawer full of key stock. I find a chunk of stock that is too large to fit into the broken fitting. I grind a taper on the key stock. Then use my crescent wrench and screw the fitting right out. I have not found a broken fitting yet that I couldn't remove with this method.

Well if there welded on then why have I been able to change hoses on them??

rufus80 · Mar 13, 2018

The fittings on the barrel not the hose fittings

A lot of times an EZ out will remove a fitting like that. Just lightly tap the EZ out into the broken fitting and turn it out.

Or drive an allen wrench in the broke off fitting. I've done that many times.

Well ya but that is true with most cylinders the pipe tread part is a weld on fitting

rufus80 · Mar 14, 2018

Your thinking of the port. A bobcat cylinder has the whole fitting welded on, usually a straight or 90degree JIC or Boss oring. If it breaks off you either weld on a new one, replace barrel, or drill and tap for a replaceable fitting.
