Replace air bleeder on hydraulic pump line

Rkh · Dec 23, 2019

Anybody know the name of this part-is it an air bleeder on the hydraulic line? This goes to the circular tubing that holds hydraulic fluid for the front bucket & gets the air out of line by turning on the valve. I would like to replace if I can find one & know the name of the part.

Your right it's an air bleeder. If you cylinder is leaking when in use, rebuild it or replace.

I call them vents. If it is seeping you're alright,leaking you just have to rebuild it or replace it.(both at the same time)

That's a vent, it's to allow air inflow and out of the reservoir. As oil goes out to operate a cylinder air must go in obviously, and vise versa.

Weather resistant breather vent. That is basically just a floating cap to let air in and out of the reservoir as the oil level changes during operation. Some have a mesh inside them to act as a filter to keep dirt out. Commonly used on truck axles, gearboxes, and hydraulic reservoirs. An equipment dealer, truck shop or parts store should be able to get them. TSC might have them. If oil is coming out of it, your hydraulic reservoir may be over full.
