Good point about the transportation time- most all cylinder repairs in the field we do now get removed and come to the shop. That way it can be pressure washed and we have a bead blaster to clean the gland nut grooves. If you had two tilt cylinders to build, along with a steer cylinder, it is sometimes better to make it a shop job since you are looking at at least two travel times to the no site. Customer probably wouldn't pay and more just to have it hauled. HOWEVER, I do have the ones that seem to never want to let their machine leave their yard.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
