Question for Hydraulics expert

I made a stupid mistake. I bought a 2 way cylinder instead of a one way for the ARPS loader on my JD m2010. To further complicate the matter I modified the mount on the new cylinder so I can't return it.

Can I drill a small hole in the port plug near the rod end and just use it as a one way? My main concern with doing that is fear that the cylinder needs lubrication that would normally be provided if it were installed as a 2way. If I do drill a hole do I need to install some sort of filter to keep crud out?

Thanks, I put it in and it works just fine. When the other cylinder fails I might just upgrade the system to 2 way.

I appreciate the help!

Any implement dealer or farm store will have a breather to put in one end of the cylinder.

I wouldn't worry about premature wear. The two-way cylinder on my 1110 mower has been used as a one way for 37 years or so without trouble.

Adding a couple of more hoses, another two way cylinder and perhapes changing the valve. And you will wonder why you went without down pressure for so long. The other hydraulic cylinder must be near failure if the replaced unit had already quit working. May as well change it out now.

No problem. The cylinder will get plenty of oil for lube. You can buy a screw in filter for that purpose from any hydraulic retailer. They're sometimes called a "muffler". Dont know why they call it that, but when I ask for a cylinder muffler, the parts guy can find it in the book a lot faster. Something you might even consider since the cylinder will wear over time, is to run a pipe or hose from the end you put the muffler on down to a place where any oil that gets by the seals wont splash all over the tractor, or worse, you. Then put the muffler on the end of the pipe or hose.

I've drilled out plugs to make a breather..You can also use a breather from a truck rear axle [ Mack uses a covered breather with a piece of foam to keep dust out].
