Description
When your hydraulic cylinder is acting sluggish or just won’t hold pressure like it used to, the problem might be a worn or damaged rod. This is the backbone of your cylinder—the steel shaft that does all the pushing and pulling when you’re operating loaders, implements, or any hydraulic-powered equipment. A bent or scored rod will leak, bind up, and eventually leave you stuck in the field.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined 1-1/4 inch diameter rod with smooth finish that seals properly
- 14.62 inch length designed specifically for Cross 3508ASAE series cylinders
- Durable steel construction that handles the daily grind of farm work
- Direct replacement that fits without modifications or special tools
Built for Real Farm Work
This rod is made for Cross hydraulic cylinders found on everything from front-end loaders to hay equipment. Whether you’re stacking bales, moving dirt, or running implements, these cylinders take a beating and this rod is built to handle the pressure and constant movement that comes with the job.
Made to Last
Cross doesn’t cut corners on their cylinder components, and this rod proves it. The steel is heat-treated for strength and the surface is finished smooth to work properly with your seals. It’s designed to handle thousands of cycles without wearing out or causing leaks.
Good to Know
Before you start the replacement, make sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure and clean the cylinder thoroughly. Check your seals while you’re in there—if the rod was damaged, chances are good the seals took a hit too. It’s worth replacing them at the same time to avoid doing the job twice.
