It's a great day at the neighborhood.... any backhoe (FORD 713 hoe on a '62 ford 2000) owners out there
ever replaced a "crowd" cylinder in a 713 model My concerns are how do I line up the pin hole on the
rod with the hole on the shell (at the bottom) when I lower the cylinder down into the shell???? There
is no opening at the bottom to facilitate this . Do I "just" lower it into the shell with the rod
extended and "fish" the hole on the rod in order to align it. When we removed the old cylinder it was
just a matter of disconnecting it from the top where the HY lines are and removing the bottom pin and
hoisting it out ! However, reassembling is another story; any help is as always appreciated.
