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.
