LA 513 Cylinder swap for LA 723

[homedad]

Does anyone know if I can simply swap the bucket cylinders from an LA 723 for my LA 513 bucket cylinders? I'm aware of all of the warnings about this swap but just need to know if they are similar enough to fit without loader modification or binding.

Don't know about the fit from the swap, but when I bent one of my tilt/roll cylinders I ordered cylinders from the Baileys surplus section that fit my LA723 perfectly. They were even Kubota orange! They were about $85.00 each, so you may want to check there.

Thanks. I was expecting to pay much much more.

The Baileys PN was 116-887. They show them as discontinued, but if you enter the PN you should be able to get the dimensions to match them.

Thanks that helps.

Fxfymn- would you happen to know the name of the cylinder. That PN comes up as a chain link.

Here is the info that comes up on my order history:BAILEY NO 116-887 STROKE 17 3/8''
ROD DIA. 1 1/4'' PORT SIZE 9/16-18
BASE END 1'' ID Pin Hole ROD END 1'' ID CT 2 9/16'' long
RETRACT 25 3/4'' TYPE Welded
SHIP WT. 30

Here is a pic of what the original ended up looking like. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I believe the stops on the loader were incorrectly positioned allowing the cylinders to take the pressure instead of the loader's arms. I have since welded a piece of stock over the stops to make them carry the load.

Yep, that looks bent. I think I can find it with all this info. Thanks again.
