    Small Cat tilt cylinder: Take to Cat dealership or regular hydraulic shop for reseal?

    Solar battery tender or trickle charger recommendations?

    They must have hired some other outside mechanic to replace you. Those knuckleheads can't do the work you were doing. Probably a blessing in disguise for you. Good luck with what ever you decide.
