Trencherman Towable Backhoe Hydraulic Cylinder Repair

My old Trencherman towable backhoe failed in the middle of a digging project. This is what I needed to do to fix it.

So where was the smaller O ring from the kit used. Or did I miss it?

Hi my friend, my name is Roosevelt i am Brasilian . Can you say me how many tons suport this hydraulic cylinder? Thanks.

In theory... a 3" piston with 2000 psi of pressure could push 14,000lbs or 7 tons. In practice I have no idea. The machine is old and the pump is small.
