Topic

I just found a place that sells the chief cylinders for ag use. It is Bailey sales in knoxville tn, 1-800-800-1810. the part # for a 2.5" by 10" is 2141131 (2500psi cylinder with clevis on each side) it is $67.00 for one, or $58.00 for five or more. you will have to take the butt end of the cylinder off and weld cat 1 hitch on the end (you must take it off or the heat will ruin the cyl and seals. on the rod end i welded cat 1 hitch to 1.25" fine thread nut that fit the rod threads then screwed it on and locked it in place with jam nut. the cat 1 ends i bought from tractor supply for $7.50 each. some people talk of wraping wet wrags around the shaft and welding directly on the shaft. i would not recomend this. the shaft is high carbon, and crome covered and welding to it without bringing it up to 400 degrees f would make it much more brittle than it started out. It might still be tough enough but why weeken it if you do not have to. I do not know about the quality of a chief cylinder, i would rather have a parker but that is only because i know they hold up well. There is one site that has the ends welded on the chief cylinder but the cheapest price i saw was $138.00 but i would never go that way when i could get the same thing with a little more effort for half price (but then i only have about $40.00 in my setup) Pay attention to what type/how many fittings you will need, it can cost twice as much to pipe it one way over the other. I was lucky i was able to use what came in the box of hyd stuff i bought for $15.00 (cyl, fittings,
hose and valve). Good luck and keep me posted. I have a friend with a digital camera i might see if i can take a picture of my setup and figure out how to post it as an attachment. if anyone knows tell me and it might save time.
