I missed most of your post about the bent loader cylinder, how'd you end up straightening it? With a press? Since you straightened those big ones, I should be able to straighten my little one in a similar fashion.
I bought a grain drill the other day at auction, and the cylinder has a slight bend to it I'd like to attempt to straighten, since it's a original IH cylinder with the little depth stop "button" on it. Cylinder retracts/extends ok, and isn't leaking, and I really haven't figured out how the previous owner bent it, unless he/she had the cylinder on something else at some point in time (which is highly possible.. I've always had to play musical cylinders.. But, if I buy 2 more everything I have will have it's own, finally!).
And for those "you can't" or "it will just bend again" guys.. It's a 14' drill, the cylinder raises the openers (that I can lift by hand using a pipe/crescent wrench), and I'm not running over 500 acres a year or anything like that, in fact, I will hardly be running over enough ground to even say I'm farming, so I'll take my chances.. when it bends or breaks again I'll see about a proper fix.
