I got suckered into working on a customer lift is usually not for me, but this one interested me. This cylinder was different not the run of the mill . It had a unique retaining of the cap. A pin slid in the side and you twisted the cap and the pin disappears into the cylinder pretty neat until I got the replacement part and it was missing the hole....

Customer hit something not sure what, they are super easy to work on. Pretty cut and dry this was a 6042-2 skytrak. The newer style just come apart unthread. This one was way old school another mechanic (mentor) said this is same as most massey ferguson are setup
