Are the steel lines for boom available? Are cylinders still available? Looks like mine are bad, not sure if they are salvagable. Any help appreciated. Tracy Martin

I bought steel tubing sections from McMaster-Carr and was planning on having new ones bent using old ones as patterns, have not got around to it yet.

I will part my loader out, IF pricing with get me close to what I have in it. I have not tested my cylinders, but they look good.

Chri, I would of thought several people here had been down this road on repairing or replacing them. Surely someone has bought or had them repaired. Tracy Martin

I took the cylinders from my 500 loader to Carlson Hydraulics (Wichita, Ks.) and they rebuilt them for me. Since the rods were unusable, they built new ones with a modified seal system. Work great and don't leak. This repair was ten or twelve years ago.

Clay, did they use chrome rod, or hardened and chrome rod? Thanks Tracy Martin
