Metal in oil

Last November I purchased a 1954 WD-45 to use primarily for snow removal. Since it is equiped with a trip bucket and rear blade it is perfect for my situation. After getting the tractor home I decided to do some long neglected maintenance including draining all fluids. As I drained the hydraulic fluid, I noticed flakes of metal and speckles of brass in the oil. My thought was that this fluid hasn't been changed for at least 15 years and this was just an accumulation of of wear (the previous owner had the tractor for 15 years and said all he did was change engine oil). I have since changed the hydraulic fluid twice, and slill have flakes of steel and brass particles in the fluid. The hydraulics work fine and I don't hear any unusual noises. I know there is a problem developing, but need a little guidance, ok, a lot of guidance.

Thanks,
Chuck

My hydraulics weren't working properly on my D19. When I pulled the plug it was covered with chunks and metallic sludge. I yanked the pump and found that the cam-driven rollers had been ground off. What a mess.


Hope your deal ain't like mine.

I can't say for sure but it may be wear from the front seals of your hydraulic cylinders. The "gland" is the front plug that the rod pokes through. When they wear, the rod rubs against the metal sides and can sluff off metal into your fluid. Look for signs of rubbing on the rods when they are extended.

If the holes are wearing, you may not be able to do much except replace the glands. Once they get more than a few thousanths out of size, new seals won't help much.

I'm sure others on this board can add much more but that's my first thought.

Thanks for the input, that is something I would never have thought of and will take a look at the rams this weekend.
