Two different styles of lift cylinders as used on the Reel-
master machines. The most common style uses a thick
retaining ring between the cylinder head and barrel to
hold the cylinder head in place. The outer front lift cylin-
ders (cutting units #4 and #5) of the Reelmaster 3555−D
use a threaded internal collar to hold the cylinder head
in place.
All of the lift cylinders used on the Reelmaster 3550−D
and 3575−D are the retaining ring style. Only the front
center and rear lift cylinders (cutting units #1, #2 and #3)
of the Reelmaster 3555−D are the retaining ring style.
