JD 146 loader

burnsg2003 · Mar 3, 2012

I have a JD 146 loader the seal on one of the main lift cylinders leaks pretty good when down pressure is applied on the loader. First is there any simple ways to get the cylinder off. Second is this something an individual can fix or better to take somewhere to be repaired and third how much expense am I looking at. Any comments or suggestions would be great.

Depends on your ability. It's not hard to get off. Set the loader down, and release the hydralic pressure. Disconnect the top hose and put a bucket or catch receptacle under it. Knock out the boom pin, drop the end of the cylinder over a bucket, diconnect the lower hydralic hose and SLOWLY extend the cylinder to extract most of the oil. Remove the lower pin.

Depending on your tools and ability, best idea is to take it to a dealer. If you want ot tackle it, it's pretty much self explanatory. Remove the cylinder end cap and pull the rod out. Remove the end nut and replace the seals. To reassemble, put the lower pin in, then the upper pin, and reconnnect the hoses. Cycle the loader at least four times to bleed the air from the cylinder, and check the transmission level and refill with oil.

First you'll need loader SN as later model cylinders require a different repair kit. The photo below is the early model cylinder To disassemble one needs to remove parts key #.14 C15412 SNAP RING,then drive parts key #9 T42763 GUIDE inside the barrel to access the parts key# 13 C12431 SNAP RING, then pull guide & rod out of barrel.
