Dad called and said he was having troubles with the loader and needed my help ASAP. Earlier in the week he bent one of the rods on the dump cylinders, so I told him to put on 2 other ones we had in the shop that aren't quite right for that loader, but are atleast matched to avoid twisting and breaking something.
Long story short, Dad didn't pay attention at TSC when we was getting a new hose and some fittings, and the swivel connector he bought was a restricter fitting, and he still managed to twist the bucket and broke the end off one of the cylinders.
Instead of running 2 mismatched cylinders, I dug around and found the gouged but straight cylinder rod I had replaced last year in the other cylinder. I polished the rust off it and did a little work around the gouges, and then did a quick outdoor rebuild of the bent cylinder.
Still planning to replace the rod with new, but now it can wait until later on when the tractor can be down for a day while I do some machine work on it.
