Hydraulic Cylinder id/help

Chad504 · Jan 2, 2009

This cylinder has two pugs in it, looks to me like I can use it as a two-way on a one way push or pull, depending on which side I attach a line to, correct. It is an IH cylinder. Any ideas on what I need to make it a one way pull for now?

Place a breather plug in the inlet for the barrel side of the cylinder. Most IHC cylinders used o-ring type fittings. Make sure anything you place in will thread several turns by hand to avoid stripping anything.
Breather plugs can be found at most dealerships, TSC's, truck repair shops and some industrial supply outlets.
Movement of cylinder rod with the plugs out should tell (air and/or fluid) rod-side port from barrel side.
