Looks OK to me

I hate vague subject lines so forgive me for this one.

Bend? What bend? Swing cylinder off my backhoe. It started leaking last fall. When I pulled it out to rebuild it I was in disbelief. I must have tweaked it when the hoe was stuck next to my creek and I was trying to lift and waddle it out. I'll never do that again. The opposing cylinder has a hint of a leak but appears to be straight. I found a replacement rod for $300 (ouch)

Yup - give me time to have a few beers, and I could well agree with you!

Good for backup part.

Reminds me of how I abused the single cylinder bucket dump on one of my FEL's. I was lucky, tho'. I straightened it to almost perfect by placing a block of wood strategically and extending the cylinder again to force the rod straight and just enough beyond so it was good when it sprung back on release! Whew!!
