Anybody ever have to replace cylinders for a backhoe?
I have a 4500 TLB, now both bucket cylinders are leaking (one was before), as it's been sitting outside for some time. Shop won't even give a ballpark estimate, for rebuilding until I bring them in, but were hinting in the $300 range and up just for seals.
Just wondering if it's possible to replace them, for a reasonable cost.
I'm still considering DIY, but the slots on one of the gland nuts is pretty tore up, so It might be a hassle getting it loose, even with the right tool.
Really just want to get things going before winter.
