I own a 96 john deere 690elc ex with hyd thumb. This machene keeps breaking the rod (chrome part ) of the bucket cyl. I dont have alot of slop in my bucket. The pin brackets that the cyl mounts to are square as to be expected. Is there suppose to be some kind of motion stop on the forward and back of the bucket that is flexing this rod. Or do i have some type of relief valve not working right . They break in the center of the rod . Ive been in this buisness all my life ran all types of equip and not seen this happen before. This 690 has done it twice to me and Im runnning out of patients and money. About 8 months passed beween breaks approx 250 hrs put on machene between the breaks. PLEASE HELP.
THANK YOU!!!!! JOHNNY
