BUCKET GP-CPLR 5411787 - Caterpillar

PROBLEM
The existing Cylinder Group can fail on certain G315B and VRG25/2 demolition and sorting grapples, due to piston/ rod assembly failure.
The piston/rod assembly can fail due to the locking device (setscrew with synthetic plug) coming loose, causing the piston to come loose from the rod.
The results of this failure is that the Cylinder Group no longer functions correctly. Replacement is required.
