Ford 3400 with 730 Loader

[Dick A]

I have a 1965 Ford 3400 with 730 loader. The bucket cylinders are causing me a problem and are currently out for repair. I know I can buy new cylinders from the Ford dealer for $1185 each. I have looked for after-market cylinders but have not found any to fit this application. Can anybody tell me where I might find after-market cylinders as it appears after-markets would be less expensive?

I have had good luck with Surplus Center - here's the link

I would remove one and take it to your nearest TSC store and have one made, (if they don't stock a match).

If that doesn't help, try any hydraulics shop near you, it may be a bit cheaper than CNH.

wow.. I'd think any hyds shop.. any real one could either fix them or source you some with similar specs.. IE.. rod and displacement and cobble up the yoke ends for you.. etc.

becuase of the custom ends... you will need to go to a great hydraulic shop and have them built...

very few shops will weld on ends anymore...
