I have a backhoe attachment for my IH tractor and I broke the hydraulic cylinder on the bucket this weekend. What happened was the clevis pin came out and it put too much side force on the piston rod. The rod is chrome plated cast steel I think and it just snapped right in half. It obviously can't be fixed so I need to find a replacement. I know the piston rod is 1.5" in diameter but I can't see the bore. The outside dimension of the cylinder is 3" so the bore can't be 3" but something less then that depending on the thickness of the cylinder walls. For you guys out there who work on a lot of this kind of thing, do you think I could assume that the "bore" is 2.5"? That would mean I would need a 2.5" bore 18" stroke cylinder with a 1.5" rod. Whatever I get I will probably have to bore out the clevis. From what I have seen on line in that range the clevis pins all seem to be 1". On this cylinder the clevis pins are 1.5" and the clevis hole is larger then that because there is a wear bushing in the clevis that looks like it may have a .250" wall thickness. Thanks for any help.
