I bought this thing recently and I'm beginning to go through it fixing things. The current problem is with the cylinder that offsets the boom (not sure proper name for it). When I got the machine, it was leaking and would slowly drift to the right while working. Now it is stuck hard to the right (passenger side). While looking over it, I noticed that the cylinder shaft rides on a metal plate immediately within the body of the machine. Is this how it should be? If so, wouldn't that tend to damage the chrome?
I am attempting to remove the cylinder, but it's obvious it would be quite difficult to remove the whole thing. The fuel tank would have to go too. If I just remove shaft and piston, will a hydraulic shop be able to repair? What information would they need?
Thanks in advance for any help. This is all pretty new to me.
