I have a low priced 3x8 that I bent the piston rod with a bind. I've bent several others and each time I've taken them to a machine shop with a 50 ton press and they straightened easily. This 3x8 the machinest made me stand way back because he said sometimes they snap instead of straighten and the broken end flies across the shop. This one didn't fly but did snap instead of straightening. It all depends on the total heat treatment of the piston rod. If not tempered enough its brittle.
Be sure neither clevis binds when the cylinder extends. I did that bad when I put a cylinder with a longer stroke on my back hoe boom. Bent badly, it straightened up OK. Bent again, I bent it worse and broke the end of the cylinder. Bought the right cylinder and don't have that problem anymore.
And be sure that the cylinder is rated for the hydraulic pressure your Allis goes to. With the higher pressure you can speed it up with a smaller diamter cylinder and still get the needed force.
