Yesterday when I was starting on a stock tank, I noticed the blade on the dozer seemed very loose and wandered back and forth on the tilt axis. When I checked out the connections, I found the tilt cylinder ball joint completely destroyed (the one attached to the dozer and not the ram end) and that was causing the movement. I've had good luck with this dozer and never had to replace any joints so I'm unfamiliar with the procedure. It is possible to only buy the ball joint or do I need to buy the whole cylinder? I've attached a photo of the damaged area...it's covered in grease so its hard to see but the ball joint is completely missing.
Also, does the pin just slide out(with a little tap from a mallet) or do I need to press it out?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
