I have a JD 310B Backhoe.
Why there are a few different styles of cylinders on the same machine, seems they would standardize them? Cylinders sized for the application of course makes sense.
Stabilizers have the 'wire' ring , with thin threaded nut that's hard to get tools on to unthread,.
Swing and crowd have a larger/thicker rod guide that's easier to grip with tools and a set screw in the outside of the barrel to hold the guide.
Backhoe bucket is a thin rod guide and a set screw
Boom appears to be thin threaded nut and a set screw, still have to get to it though.
