Superb workmanship and really inspirational project. I have question on your homemade cylinders. Do you use a specific steel for the rod, ie precision ground drill rod, or regular steel? Also what type of oring? Silicone? Viton? I really want to try to make a working cylinder for a dozer.

Love the grader - masterpiece!
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks Bob.
For the rods I use 1.4021 stainless steel. I'm using both Nitrile and Viton o-rings.
