the piston on my cherry picker has been shot and leaking for some time now, i need to pick a very heavy engine out of the back of my truck so the time has come to replace it. anyone have one in vgc or know of a place locally that deals with such a thing? i have seen a couple online that look decent… ---

to specify, i am looking to replace the ram on my hoist only, not looking for a whole new unit. ---

You might be able to get it rebuilt. I went to Mooradian’s in Latham and they put me in touch with a guy that rebuilds hydraulic jacks and he fixed mine but I seemed to have lost his number. ---

i bet you can just dis-assemble the ram, replace the seals and you will be all set. ---

Yeah goto a farm/tractor place. If they can’t rebuild it or get you the seals, they’ll know someone in the area. ---
