NOTICE This is a Displacement cylinder that has no Piston. There are no seals other than in the head. There have been a lot of comments of how I burnt the piston seals when welding. Again, there is no piston or seals other than the head. WATCH THE ENTIRE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING!!! The rod was shown with no piston, just a welded ring to keep the rod from extending out. NOTICE

Why? Why build something that isn't serviceable? To make more money selling new ones. Well, that just isn't always an option.

This cylinder came to me needing new seals. It is no longer available, so repair is the only option. Follow along as I cut it open, repack, and seal it back up. This will be a very happy customer.
