I have an IH 2350 loader and both bucket curl cylinders are leaking, and the rods are pitted.
Rather than rebuilding the cylinders at $250 a pop, I'd like to find something to replace them. The stroke is a little more than 22" and the retracted length is 44".
I found a cylinder with a 22" stroke but it's only 32-1/2" retracted length. I need to make up 12"
The rod end of the new cylinder is threaded. Do you think I could have a rod extension made up at a machine shop for the extra 12" that threads on to the end of the rod, and have it work?
