continuing saga of the jd 493d. now the bucket tilt cylinder is stuck in the fully extended position. the packing has been leaking, but not terribly. the chrome is also a bit nicked up. the main problem, and what i suspect is the cause of this problem, is the ram is bent due to an improvised bucket mount with improper geometry (the ram hits the stick before its fully extended, thus allowing it to bend itself) when attempting to move it, i do see some flex in the hydraulic lines, but not a ton.
