Parts Source For Repacking Sherman 54B Cylinders

8NChris · Jul 31, 2020

Good morning,
I have a 54B100 that mounts to the axle. Before I tear it down to measure the packing I want to know if the board members have found a source for either the orginal leather type packing or some replacement seals?
Thanks, Chris

The pump and cylinder plumbing are Hydreco. The pump looks like a rotary type. Just gave this thing a spray bath but missed some spots.

Along with a good hydraulic shop in your area as old suggested, Baum Hydraulics is a source for cylinder packing parts of all types. They have a lot of detail info on their site, including drawing of different packings and seals.

That looks like a gear pump.

I called Baum Hydraulic this morning. I'll need to tear it down and measure the seals. The man that dealt with most of the antique equipment has retired. I used to work in a hydraulic shop but do not remember any leather packing. The photo's look similar to what I remember. When I ordered the Wain-Roy book they told me of the leather.
