Bent my dipper cylinder

[Huntinguy]

GC1725 with a CB65 Backhoe.

Apparently I am outside the recall window.

Any suggestions on where I could find a replacement cylinder?

Massey seems a little proud of the one they have. Though the dealer is going to see if AGCO will offer a discount.

Seems like there should be an aftermarket cylinder though.

Anyone had this problem? What did you do?

I bent mine on a little backhoe similar to that. Took it to a local hydraulics place. They straightened it. Left some nicks in the chrome but it was straight.

They also offered to cut the ends and weld them onto a new rod. There are options.

Take the whole thing to them and they can probably just source a whole cylinder too.
