Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) P6000:
Tilt cylinder rebuild

Thanks man. Ive tried to do some filing and it improved to where it would turn and stay on but its definitely stripped a little bit. I was actually trying to find the right tap and die but finding the right bolt and nut would probably work just as well. Thanks for the advice and tips

If you can't see which is damaged, the internal or the external threads, try running on a good nut or bolt of the same size. You might get a new nut or bolt to go on and clean up the threads a little.
You probably let the weight of the cylinder torque the end off before the last half turn of thread was cleared. If so you could grind or file off the first turn or so of thread. Look closely and you'll probably see where the thread damage is.
