You've already discovers the joys of hydraulic fluid! So have I. Amassing how much drains out of one hose!!
That's why I opted to pull the front pin on the cylinder, too. I was able to run a small chain through the rod eye and over the loader arm to support it.
Best of luck.

Saw your post. I only replaced the rubber lines for the bucket cylinders. That required moving the boom cylinder- I pulled the cylinder pins front and rear and slid the cylinder forward out of the frame...enough length in the rubber lines that I could leave them attached to the cylinder. There is a ...

Not sure if you have been looking for the style master pin with a head and retainer clip or the dimpled pin. I think Crawler123 has a great post on when he had to break his tracks. I have the dimes style and torched out the end and hammer them out- there are posts that mention that procedure. Not su...

Looking at the eBay link: that filter looks just like the primary filter on my CAT diesel...the folks at carquest auto parts were able to match it (I love the older counter help: he knew just what it was. The younger crowd needs the year, make and whether the fuel cap is on the left or right and if ...

I measured my bolts and mine are 7/8" with no shoulder. The challenge I ran into is the limiting factor of the 7/8 bore. When drilling out my broken bolt I had thought about a 3/8 drill chuck on an extension but the chuck had an OD over 1". I turned round stock to 7/8, bored one end 1/8" and the oth...

This thread (no pun intended) has me wondering if I need to make some changes. I just went with 3/4 bolts and now wonder if the difference would be enough to be a problem due to movement/flex. Too bad thread pitch isn't the same- my chart shows 3/4 as 10 tpi and 7/8 @ 9 tpi- you could just run a tap...

Yeah, I had to do that to remove my broken bolt. Used left-hand drill bits as suggested on this site and was lucky...the drill spun out the broken bolt! Your brake job was excellent and well documented: a very useful tutorial I reviewed a couple times while doing my clutch/brakes. I'm sure you'll fi...

Not many folks jumping on this one, huh? I had to remove a broken frame-to-bell housing bolt and did it while everything together. There's not a lot of room and, the smaller helicoils I've used require going oversize…I'm not sure the current hole in the frame would permit that. And then there's gett...
