Is there a s/n tag anywhere on the toolbar unit?
Should be on the forward face of the swivel upright.
None that i can find where i can see without disconnecting the blade. My local dealer is still searching and hopefully seeking help from Caterpillar who must have something on this. In the meantime I am starting to think about sourcing a third party cylinder of similiar stroke and bore. I assume i would have to have fairly similar so that the blade moves level?
This is what I show for the #5 & #6 tool bar with s/n 76C1-up and 34C1-up.

Thankyou for your help. However it doesn't look right and I am starting to wonder whether I have in fact got a genuine cylinder. My local dealer has come back also with something different again that also doesn't look right although the design is similiar. I've asked for availability and price on the retained part number 2J3860 Retainer. I will try attaching the pdf they sent me when I work out how to do this.

Hopefully I have attached a copy of the pdf my local dealer sent me. As noted in my last t doesn't lok right but the design of the retainer at the rod end is similiar.

That does not look like the typical Cat manufactured tool bar arrangement.
That's what I was starting to suspect.
Thanks for you help though. At least I got to work out how to post images on the forum.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
