Patent number: 5386652Abstract: A cylinder and piston rod guard attachment for a backhoe or the like. The cylinder and piston rod guard is arranged to extend over the cylinder housing and the associated piston rod as it extends therefrom to protect the extended piston rod. A U-shaped inverted channel sleeve configuration extends from the attached end of the piston rod and is supported in sliding spaced relation above the cylinder housing by support tracks secured to the cylinder housing. As the rod advances out of the cylinder housing, the cylinder guard extends therewith protecting same.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1993Date of Patent: February 7, 1995Assignee: Allied Gator, Inc.Inventor: John Ramun
