Having trouble finding cylinder replacement

[BimmerRacer]

Looks like I need

2" bore
1" rod
6" stroke
3/4" clevis ends
12" retracted
18" extended

and I can't seem to find one that meets the specs. They all seem to be too long, starting at 16" with 1" clevis ends. Ideas?

About every clevis cylinder I have seen it is ALWAYS stroke + 10.25 = retracted length.

That puts you at the 16.25". Much less than that and you dont have room for the clevis on each end, piston/packing, and cylinder end caps.

Can I ask what this cylinder is going on or came off of?? Do you have a cylinder that needs replaced??? If so, on what??

We need more details, but if you are trying to build something and want a cyl with those specs, I'd say they dont make one BUT if it cae off of something or a peice of equipment, have you tried the manufacture?? What about rebuilding?? and are you sure about the bore/stroke measurments??

Again, we need more info please.

Kubota BX2763 plow, its the angling cylinder, althouth up/down looks the same.

Dealer wants 300 bucks, hence looking for aftermarket

I am sure about the measurements

I am not sure about rebuilding...the piston end threads are gouged up pretty bad....I hit something and overextended the cylinder, ripping out the piston

Just a guess, but i'd say its metric. And I'm not sure where to even look for a metric cylinder, other than the dealer.

I know some places will custom make cylinders, but that would probabally be just as much $$$ as the kubota cylinder??

One of the dealer online sites spec'ed it as 2x5...Are there places you think can repair?

If you have damaged something on the cylinder and a replacement is only $300 there isn't much room to work there. To repair, a shop is probably going to charge 2 hours labour, parts plus costs to repair any damage done. It is often not economical to repair small cylinders.

well, I did a google images search for that plow to actually see what cylinder you are talking about.

As it turns out, it looks like a welded "crosstube" cylinder and NOT a clevis cylinder.

On a clevis cylinder, the retracted length is usually stroke + 10.25" which would put A 6" cylinder @ 16.25"

Crosstubes take up less length. They are stroke + 8". That still puts you at a 14" overall length. But it is a step in the right direction. It could still possibally be metric.
Could you post some pics of the measurments. ( cylinder laid out with the tame measure beside it). Cause it it is metric, there could be a slight difference in pin diameter too.

A 2x6 with a 1" rod and 3/4" pins would be close to metric 50mm x 150mm with a 25mm rod and 19mm pins. If they make such a cylinder. But it is something else to look for.

PS, is this a double acting cylinder??

I did stumble upon one that is close.

2x6 with the 3/4" pin holes. The only differences between it and your specs is the rod is 1.25" and it is 1" longer retracted than you speced. It is 13".

Maybe it will work???

Sounds like you need a "cushion" or "cross-over" relief valve!

Nope, it is definitely a clevis. I'll take a pic of what I have tonight and post it. And looks like its -6 ports.
