Dearborn 19-42 loader cylinder

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 ??
