Farmall lift cylinder rebuild

RandyM · May 7, 2019

I have taken apart and resealed the lift cylinder on the F450 as discussed in a prior post (https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1392614)

My question now is what is the recommended torque on the piston rod nut (#21 in the picture) And on the tie rods?

On the tie rods it is more important they be all evenly tightened than the torque. I have always just used by feel commonsense on them. Usually just tightened the piston nut tight. It's usually a 3/4 or so so without major devices to hold them tight as I could get it with a wrench. I did make sure the locking part was good or used loctite on it.

Thanks Caterpillar guy. I did get the piston nut torqued to 155 ft-lbs. (This came from a web search of other web sites for cylinder rebuilds). When I tore it down, I could not get a socket on the nuts so I was concerned about torque. I appreciate the help.
