I just bought a tractor with a nice loader that has totally pitted and rusty cylinder shafts. They want a fortune to rechrome them. HOWEVER they can be powdercoated or porcenalized for a few 100 dollars.Will this last for occasional use? Are there any other cheap options? Doesn't the plating actually protect the seals and wipers from damage? THANKS

You could just take it to a spray shop and let them spray it with a good chrome carbide and grind to finish. It's done every day.

Hi carl,

For a number of years I worked for a shop that restored Rolls-Royce cars. Some models had built-in hydraulic wheel lift jacks. These jacks had three stage/section telescoping shafts. They were always bad, and no replacements were available. We had the parts ground, hard chromed, then ground back to original dimensions. That has to cost more that taylor's recommendation, but if shafting material isn't available in the size needed, the procedure I described is probably cheaper than having a new part made from scratch. Good luck...Al English

I used to work at a hydraulics shop where we had 20 foot sticks of chrome rod stock we made new rods from. Its also available at steel supply companies. You can have them cut you 2 lengths about 3 inches longer than needed and have a small job shop machin the step and thread them. Itusually costs about 200 bucks for 2 rods to be bought and machined. best regaurds Taylor

If these are one way cylinders, the condition of the rod is not so important. For two way operation, the rod has to be smooth and free of deep pits and scratches. I have salvaged some pretty rough cylinders by filling the rusted and damaged areas with epoxy and then shaping to the original profile. Sand blast or wire brush down to solid metal. For ocasional use, this will hold up just fine.
