I have this hydraulic cylinder on my wood splitter. The end broke off. What is my best option here besides buying a new cylinder?
It only needs to push. The force on it when retracting is very small. I think the side to side forces are what broke it. Like when a chunk of wood is slightly uneven it pushes to the side a little
Do they make ends like the one on this cylinder, that I could bolt or weld on?
I think my options are these…
-Weld the end back on. It probably wouldn’t last long though
-Find an end to weld/bolt on like the above picture
-Drill a new hole in the rod. I’m not even sure if that’s doable.
The rod is 1 1/2” diameter and the pin hole is 1”. It’s a Prince 3.5x20 cylinder
Thanks
