Yes I do . Yes you can . That might just work . Hadn't thought of that . Just need to make sure all slag is removed first . It is sure worth a try .

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
I have big doubts this'll work out in the end. Will take it to the machinist next week to do the main stuff on the big lathe.

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
I can’t say weather it will work or not either, but you certainly get an A for the effort.

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
He he, thanks Jeff! Sometimes all you end up with is the effort.
... the machine shop said they can't bore the barrel so far in. The alternative solution would be to get hydraulic barrel tube, the folks at the machine shop said such tube surely would be pricey. At this point I'm wondering if the effort and $$ are justified just so that this one hydraulic cylinder looks like the other two. I'll think about it some more.

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
Dang I thought you about had it ready to go.
I surely support whatever you decide. Personally I wouldn’t feel bad if a new cylinder worked just a good and was more cost effective.

Turns out the hydraulic shop in the city don't stock 3" tube at all, so I answer put an order for a new cylinder of similar size.

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
@Eugen I have set of loader cylinders that need rods. Would one of those be of any use to you?

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
Thank you, but it's too small. It's ok, new cylinder from PA ordered already.

Re: Case/Davis trencher backhoe
I'm not going to ramble today. New cylinder, pins, fittings, top and bottom spool o-rings on the valve, topped up the hydraulic oil. Tested it a little, no leaks, seems functional.
