THE REPAIR PROCESS
Our comprehensive repair process starts with a complete disassembly and inspection of your Bobcat cylinder. We replace all worn parts and seals, ensuring your cylinder is restored to its peak performance. Bobcat machines typically use welded, tie-rod, or threaded cylinders, and we tailor our approach to each specific type.
Our repair process includes:
We carefully assess the issue with your Bobcat cylinder and provide you with a detailed repair authorization and quote.
We'll procure all required parts for your repair, working diligently to complete the job as quickly as possible while still being subject to part availability and our current workload.
Our skilled technicians get to work on your cylinder, keeping you informed of the progress and any changes in the timeline.
To prevent internal leaks and extend the life of your cylinder, we perform a light honing process on almost every Bobcat cylinder we service. Additional material can be removed from the tube if needed.

Not necessarily! Repair times vary depending on things like finding the right parts and how busy we are, but we always aim for fast and reliable service.
Just like any other part, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders wear down over time. How long your repaired cylinder lasts depends on several factors, including how often and how hard you use your machine. Things like dirt or debris getting into the system, extreme temperatures, or old fluid can also wear down the seals faster.
If you notice dirty oil or air in the system, unexplained leaks, damaged seals, or bent rods, or if your Bobcat is just not working as quickly or efficiently as it used to, your cylinder might be on its way out. Sometimes, these issues develop slowly, so keep an eye out for any changes in performance and address them as soon as possible.
Bobcat suggests changing it every 1,000 operating hours or once a year, whichever comes first. But if your machine works in really tough conditions like extreme heat, cold, or dust, you might need to change it more often.
Bobcat's own brand of hydraulic fluid is the best choice for keeping your machine running smoothly and preventing problems. But if you can't find it, you can use another brand as long as it meets the Bobcat HF-0604 specification.
