732T Motor Grader Blade Lift Cylinder W-17-00316
Part number W-17-00316 identifies a blade lift cylinder listed for the 732T motor grader. The cylinder supports blade-height adjustment through the grader hydraulic system. Correct replacement requires more than a similar outside appearance: retracted length, stroke, mounting style, pin diameters, port arrangement and the original machine configuration must agree.
Safe measurement note: Secure the blade and release stored hydraulic pressure according to the machine procedure before inspecting or removing a cylinder. Do not rely on the hydraulic circuit alone to support raised equipment.
Cylinder fitment is more than stroke length
Two cylinders can share a similar barrel diameter while using different rod ends, base mounts or port positions. Start with W-17-00316, then compare the distance between mounting centres in the fully retracted condition, available stroke, pin size, mount width and hose-clearance orientation. Include the 732T serial plate because production configurations can change.

Symptoms and inspection
Blade drift, slow movement, external oil leakage or damaged rod surfaces can lead to cylinder inspection. These symptoms can also involve control valves, hose restrictions, pump supply or mechanical binding. Inspect both the cylinder and the linkage, and follow the machine procedure for pressure testing. Never place hands near a moving linkage during diagnosis.
Evidence to send for matching
Clear photograph of the W-17-00316 marking and any secondary label.
Centre-to-centre pin distance with the cylinder safely retracted.
Rod diameter, barrel outside diameter and available stroke.
Base and rod-end mount style, width and pin-hole diameter.
Number, type and orientation of hydraulic ports.

Installation planning
Support the blade and cylinder independently during removal. Cap open lines, inspect pins and bushings, and clean the mounting areas. Do not use the mounting pins to force a misaligned cylinder into position. After installation, follow the approved filling and air-removal procedure, cycle the blade at low load, and inspect every connection for leakage.

FAQ
Is W-17-00316 confirmed for every 732T grader?
It is listed for 732T, but machine serial number and original-cylinder verification are still required.
Can the cylinder be matched from extended length only?
No. Retracted length, stroke, mount geometry, pins and port details must also match.
Does blade drift always mean the cylinder seals have failed?
No. Control-valve leakage and other hydraulic or mechanical faults can produce similar symptoms.
What should be inspected with the cylinder?
Check pins, bushings, linkage alignment, hoses, fittings and the blade support structure according to the service procedure.
Compatibility note: Final supply depends on part number, 732T serial number and complete interface measurements.
