What's In This Category

Lift Cylinder Groups

Bucket lift cylinder groups (7J9871, 7J9872) for the 930, 930R, 930T, and 930T II. These raise and lower the loader lift arms.

Tilt Cylinder Groups

Bucket tilt cylinder groups (7J9729, 7J9730) for the 930 series, plus the A-cylinder group (7J9868) for the 930. These curl the bucket for digging and dumping.

Steering Cylinder Groups

Steering cylinder group (7J9838) for the 920, 930, 930R, 930T, and 930T II. Restores hydraulic steering response on the articulated frame.

Hydraulic Cylinder Tubes

Replacement cylinder tubes (7J9727, 7J9728, 7J9867) for the 930 series. Replace the tube when the bore is scored but the rod and gland are still good.

Fitment Tip

The 920 and 930 are compact loaders, and their cylinders don't interchange with the larger 938 and up. Match the casting number stamped on your cylinder to the correct seal kit when rebuilding. The serial number is on the left (highway) side of the machine behind the front tire — pre-2001 machines use an 8-digit serial, 2001-and-newer use a 17-digit VIN. Call us with your serial and cylinder number and we'll confirm the right part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lift cylinder fits my Cat 930 wheel loader?

The 930, 930R, 930T, and 930T II use lift cylinder groups 7J9871 and 7J9872. These are specific to the 930 series and don't interchange with the larger 938 or 950 loaders. Confirm your serial number and match the casting number on your existing cylinder before ordering.

Can I replace just the cylinder tube on my Cat 930?

Yes. Broken Tractor stocks 930-series cylinder tubes (7J9727, 7J9728, 7J9867) separately. If the bore is scored but the rod, gland, and piston are still good, replacing just the tube saves money over a complete cylinder group. Inspect the rod and gland first to confirm they're reusable.

Why is my Cat 920 or 930 bucket drifting down?

Bucket drift usually comes from worn cylinder seals or a leaking control valve. On these compact loaders it often starts with contamination getting past the rod seals, which damages the bore. Pressure-test the tilt cylinders — if they hold when plugged but drift when reconnected, the control valve is the issue. If a cylinder bypasses internally, reseal or replace before the contamination spreads.

Where is the serial number on a Cat 930 wheel loader?

On the 930, the serial number is on the left (highway) side of the machine behind the front tire. Pre-2001 machines use an 8-digit serial like
