I managed to bend a curl cylinder on my 7TL. Bobcat wants $900 to replace or $330 to replace rod and seals.

Has anyone found a cheaper option?

Reach out to Brian ( MtnViewRanch) He is a member her and knows hydraulics.

Got my curiosity up and I have googled for a couple of hours. Seems the specs on these cylinders are a little odd. I have not found anything even close. Doesn't mean it is not out there. Have you spoken to any hydraulic shops in your area?

I have only called Bobcat up to this point.

My next step was to throw it out on here and let people much smarter than me point me in the right direction. :D

Just curious, how did you bend it?

If you just bent the rod stick it in a press and straighten it .

I broke the pivot point off the loader arm with a over-sized bucket full of snow. It twisted the other pivot and bent the rod.

That's a very slight bend easily straightened. As for the pivot points a machine shop may be able to get you back in action.

I think I am going to have a close look at my loader arms......
