Been trying to find parts for the loader cylinders on my old Case 1530 skidloader. ---- The only aftermarket stuff is for 2-1/2" and the originals are 3". As a last ditch effort I went to Case industrial place in Bloomington and---- well list price for all 4 kits were $ 440. and you can put all 4 kits in your pocket! talk about a rip! --- anyway they let me have them for $88.10 each since I was a customer for many years, so lucky there, plus they not selling stuff like they used to! -- had to order the kits but did get the right ones first try! ( fancy that)!
Now to do the other side!---- might have to wait til spring to do the bucket cylinders.
