Question, long one too.

Got to work the other morn. There sits a Poulan log splitter. I asked the boss who it belongs to. A friend let him use it. The hydrualic cyl. is leaking. His friend had to weld the base end of the cyl. barrel once before. I took the splitter apart and after some time found 3 tiny pin holes in the weld. Burned a couple of patches on it and put everything back together. Works good, no leaks. Question is, How the heck do you blow the back end off a cyl. like that? I"ve been known to push stuff to the limit but that seems like he had to try to ruin that cyl.

I work in a large factory repairing mostly forklifts and we see a fair amount of the tilt cylinders develop leaks where the back, or anchor end is welded to the tube. I figure its cheap foreign resistance welding. Sometimes its tough to chase the pinhole around once all the pores get filled with oil.

About 15 years ago, one of my co-workers was running a bobcat with a jackhammer attachment to repair a blowup in the freeway. He was instructed to not use the jackhammer to do any prying. Needless to say he thought he was a hot shot operator and did exactly that for several hours while also hammering the concrete. The cylinder for one of the arms broke and at the time I think the repair was about $800 dollars.

I ripped the end off a cylinder once on a 90hp Green tractor. Loader had a cylinder on each side of a 7' bucket.

I was cleaning out a pond so I'd drive up to the water and push the cylinders all the way out which would make the bucket vertical.

Then I'd push the blade into the ground to the point where the front tires of the tractor would come off the ground.

Then I'd back out using the bucket like a dozer blade.

About 20 minutes of that and I had hydraulic fluid all over everything and the end of a cylinder ripped off.

Oh well.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

No I didn't replace the cylinder. Just took the remaining one and center mounted it on the bucket. Bucket worked much faster then. I liked that.

It is possible that there is a misalignment witht the cylinder and the guide causing the cylinder to bend slightly and cause a leak between the cyl. barrel and the endcap, an educated guess. I have seen some amazing failures in hydraulics over the years, for instance in 1988 I worked for a pump/valve hydraulic rebuild place. One young punk hooked up a vickers double pump and forgot to put one of the outlets on the quick-connect and after he turned on the electric motor to the pump--CA-POW the biggest explosion I ever heard other than a gun firing. The pump casing split in two. I almost #rapped my drawers. I have seen hydraulic vane pump wear plates worn down to the point where you ask yourself--how in the *&^% could this have worked to this point. Have fun and be careful.
