Long time listener, first time caller.
I'm in the process of fixing up a Bradco 32TLB (based on Ford 1910 tractor) and I have new hoses and most of the maintenance done at this point. However i found one of the stabilizer cylinders was leaking horribly. I tried to get off the gland but it is one of those wrap around metal retainer deals with very little of the aluminum gland exposed to grab on to and it is stuck on horribly. I dropped it off at a shop and they gave up too. Tried peening, torch, air hammer, etc. and no luck.
So i'm trying to find a replacement and now I'm stuck as I don't know how to buy a cylinder. The shop offered to sell me one for ~2k, however this is a toy for me and I only paid 2500 for the whole setup (and probably about that again into the repair) when I bought it so I don't want to drop that cash. I tried to find the part online but I'm also confused what I need. The 11HD manual (which is on the 32TLB) calls for a 61863 cylinder, however the cylinder itself is stamped 64886. I can find the 61683 for ~1k which is still too much but better, but I can't find the 64886 at all anywhere.
So my question, any suggestions on how to find a replacement cylinder? I'm all for buying a crappy cylinder, making something close enough work, or a used one somewhere as this is basically a backyard toy.
