A while ago I rebuilt the tilt cylinder on our FA 10 - straight blade with tilt. The shaft was sent away for re-chroming rather than welding the ball on to a new length of rod.
Prior to this the tilt worked as it ought. After the rebuild I can only get tilt one way. After much puzzling I'm beginning to suspect that the rechrome place has shortened the rod and made a new thread on the piston end. If so there was no discussion about that option. So I need to do a check - without taking the cylinder apart!
So can someone with a similar blade get me a measurement of the rod length at full cylinder extension - front of packing gland to the rear of the ball pivot assembly on the blade - so I can check what I've got?
If it has been shortened I still get full cylinder travel according to the manual, so ought to be able to make a spacer and add it between blade and pivot assembly.
TIA

Hmmm!
Am I the only bloke on this site that has a FA 10 with a straight tilt blade?
That might merit unique status - allowing that one derivation of that word is "unis = one" "equus = horse"
10B is the same, my manuals don't go further.
