I'm rebuilding the cylinder seals with a rebuild kit I got for a 19-42 loader. Got everything apart but the lower cylinder end seems like it has a lot of slop. There is a round heavy washer listed in the parts diagram as a stop. How close is the clearance suppose to be on this ?? Diameter ??
I'm still perplexed as how this lift arm works as there is no lower seal on the shaft. Oil comes in the bottom but appears to be able to flow around the shaft end.

Any insight from the smarter people ??

Figured out how it works, and confirmed with my VERY smart son.
Yes the whole cylinder fills with pressurized oil. The pressure presses on the shaft END moving rod despite not having a shaft end seal. Only need an end seal for a double acting cylinder so you can have pressure on either side.
Time to reassemble.

If any one needs seal and o ring dimensions for this cylinder, I measured before installing. Very simple packing box rebuild.

Thank you for coming back with your solution so others may benefit from it.
