Tilt cylinder is bypassing, so I assume that is my problem. Will have to get it rebuilt, looked at the shop manual and I don't have the tools to pull it apart.

The tilt cylinders don't get hot after a few hours use, I reread the shop manual on how to repack the cylinder and other that a torque multiplier to get the 2000 lbs torque on the head bolts, I shouldn't need any other special tools. Are there any special tricks to taking out the cylinder rod, or do I just pull it out till it stops, then turn it out of the nut. Doesn't really say how tight the nut is on.

the nut will be FT (f&^%Kn tight) but if you want a quick fix just pull the head and rod out and change the piston seals you will need a ram bed to remove the cylinder piston (nut) from the rod correctly.. one good thing about Komatsu gear is they have a ring of bolts holding the piston head onto the rod rather than a huge nut so you can fix them in the paddock with ease
