question REBUILDING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

Posted by CHEAP_DAVE on August 21, 2004 at 06:07:23 from (68.186.242.131):

I Have a front loader and after having numerous problems having a couple of cylinders rebuilt, I finally decided to muster up some courage and disassemble one myself, only to find that these are kind of simple.

Anyway my question is where would i find the seals and packings, etc.?

Does anyone know of an online outlet?
Would I just mictometer everything (exact measurements from the existing)?

If the packings were good but the seal is leaking should I do the packings as well?

there is some scoring (44 year old machine) on the rod, mostly like the chrome is worn off. I realise this is the cause of the seal failure. Has anyone had to replace a rod? how and where?

This is a superior loader on a ford 841, one front cylinder is really giving me problems by constantly popping the snap ring off, and blowing the front seals and fluid out. The snap ring groove seams to have been abused by previous owners and I'm thinking it will need to be machined deeper for a slightly larger snap ring. this repetitive failure has started to wear on the front seal (this cylinder was Professionally rebuilt recently)

i appreciate any answers to my numerous questions

Thank you

dave
