suzukibruce, Welcome from NE Ohio.  I have seen your name on other fora so you know the drill.  Wipe your feet, grab a chair, get your own coffee, and when you feel comfortable, join in a conversation.  (Pictures help since some of the members have a hard time reading.)

Welcome aboard, Bruce!
Let's get some pics of that Mighty Walker on over here!
Did you ever resolve your "exploded cylinder" issue? (BTW...if you have pics, a detailed write-up of your experience would be helpful for our Walker owners here)

I know some us have but I'm sure there are quite a few people here that would appreciate it if you started a thread on your experiences with the Walker (mishap) and some pics of what you ended up with while searching for parts to fix it.
