You should never work on a hydraulic system "out in the weeds" unless you can't move it. It's a lawn mower man.... Roll it somewhere else. Unless it won't roll. If that's the case, then whey didn't you say something sooner, because that changes EVERYTHING. It should roll.

I have no idea. But you obviously have never seen the inside of one of these before you googled it.... so, I don't really trust that you have any idea whether the part that fell out looked "just like" a piston... because if you've never held one in your hand, then you really don't know what they look like. I mean, I had to tell you they won't fit inside the tube. They are very large compared to a simple 1/4" roll pin.
I have NO IDEA what you found. Neither do you, and you lost it.... so no way anyone is going to be able to tell you what it was.
You said shaft spins out the back of the hydro. While your trying to move it??
EVERYTHING you have said up to this point (stopped abruptly, no hydraulic lift, hard vibration....) points toward a broken roll pin, except for you say the shaft is spinning. Now I want to be very, very clear on this.
I AM NOT talking about the driveshaft. I'm talking about the little stub shaft out the BACK of the hydro, that you can only see from the rear of the machine by looking under the battery tray, or by removing the fenders. Again, I am not talking about the shaft that you can easily see.
Why don't you post a pic of the shaft I'm talking about when you find it. Thank you.
