Gday from Australia, Thanks for taking the time. It’s a huge help. About to replace seals on my 318D skid Steer. Mine is leaking between the cylinder body and the end cap. Wiper seal looks good, but will get a kit and replace all of course. I really appreciate it. All the very best to you and your fam. Cheers 👍🍻

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I changed one set on my 430 loader thanks to you sharing your knowledge. I did learn that placing the removal ring requires more than just sticking it in there and that you can make a removal tool from a plastic cup.

Very good tutorial video! I have the two lift cylinders on my John Deere 318D skid steer that are weeping, not real badly just wet enough to attract dust. I will need to replace the seals one of these days but as long as there is no serious leaking I guess I will leave well enough alone for now. Thank you!

The truth is there are lots of us with older equipment that do this on our farms we just don't all have time to film it. It's called being smart, when some dealers are charging $130.00 an hour to fix equipment that might only be worth $5000 or less and a day doesn't fix it. I used to repair a lot for others to as like Guy in WY I went to school for mechanic. For a lot of years I was full time. But returned home to the farm and fix part time for a couple real good local guys. Now a lot of older farmers are retiring, the parts are so expensive and young guys want new stuff. It's getting harder to make a living on fixing old equipment you don't need a computer for in some areas. when I'm farming here everybody else is to, so time not here is something I don't get done on top now my Dads retiring and i'm loosing my help.

Good job of packing that cylinder! We use to do a lot of cylinder packing , but before I retired from coal surface mines we went to the exchange program with Caterpillar. We could not stop equipment long enough to pack because of coal production. You did good on pushing the head out with the hydraulics! Thanks for sharing!

This is great I have a jd 460 loader the two leveler bucket cylinders are allowing the bucket to tilt no matter running or not I'm hoping scoring and cylinders are in good shape. And all I need to do is replace the soft parts. To restore having less than 1500 hours on it but lots of lifting bales dirt exc. Things do wear I should be able to install these in a couple hours and have it back up a running . Great video.

not always 2 kits per each cylinder, it depends. and sometimes, the two kits jd says works for a particular cylinder, are missing a part. good video. one recommendation i have though, butt the rod all the way out to the gland. will make it impossible to air lock the rod into the cylinder if you accidently push the gland too far in.
@super69546 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the video, I have got to do the seals on our Quicke grapple cylinders, with all the cylinders I've done I have never worked on one like this they aren't real common in this area, I hope that tool is in their kits. I have one guy brings me all his machine cylinders now. He usually gets them done for less than $100 of time plus parts if they come apart easy. He really likes the fact when I do them they don't leak after a month like they do from the dealers most times, and they charge way more. ! It's like he says by the time some have been done twice thats 5 gallon of expensive oil gone to on top of time and parts. The last one the big shop messed up they didn't put back up rings in the outer gland groove with the o ring and got 1 internal gland seal in wrong. It cost $300 for the 2 sets of seals without shop time he wasn't real happy with them.

Oh yes he has, cylinders aren't the only thing I've worked on for him after another shop messed it up or couldn't figure it out right. But he still has this mad fascination with buying new or newer used equipment from some of them. He just trades some stuff before it starts needing fixing to often. The JD combine just left after 4 years on his place and less than 1500 threshing hours between him and the first owner !.

@robert2819796 жыл бұрын
Here is a simple small trick when it comes to the seal ring. When you install one on the piston, once you get it straight, wrap it a couple times with electrical tape, take a hose clamp and tighten it down around the piston seal. Let it sit for a few seconds, then remove the hose clamp and electrical tape. This seats and recompresses the seal ring, making it easy to slide back into the ram cylinder, with less risk of damaging the seal ring.

We had a ram snap so we need to disassemble the cylinder to replace it. I was able to get the outer snap ring off but when I try to knock the end of the cylinder back inside, it's acting like it's seized. We used a big sledge hammer and a piece of pipe slid over the ram and pressing against the end cap but no dice. Is that what happened with your right hand cylinder that you had to replace entirely? Thanks!
@GuyinWY6 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is. If I had it to do over I would extend that Ram all the way out and cut the base off of the cylinder body. Push the Ram in and disassemble the piston, pull the rod out through the cap. That way you can reuse the rod and piston, just buy a new body, end cap and seal kit. With your Ram being broken though, I’d just buy a new cylinder. Not sure what loader model you have but the one I had to get was close to $600 US

Nice video. You can also use a air compressor to push the rod out of the casing, makes it easier , I take mine off the tractor and put it on my work bench , then I put my air nozzle on the hole furthest away from where the rod goes out. if you hit the wrong hole it will just go back in. But use EXTREME CAUTION , because if your air compressor is pumped up to 120 that rod will shoot out like a missile. Maybe try a air pressure around 30 PSI and go from there and still be careful . I'm getting ready to do another one and I might screw some 4x4's to my bench to stop it from flying across my shop.
@athhud2 жыл бұрын
You would never get that particular cylinder apart with compressed air. It requires a LOT of force to get that snap ring past the little removal tool. I’ve tried just about every method imaginable. The only practical solution is to use the tractor’s hydraulics, snatch it out with a truck or tractor, or build a bench top jig to pull them out with a ram. It better be a powerful ram though. The last time I tried, my 10 ton ram wouldn’t do the job. I personally prefer snatching them with another tractor or use the tractor it is mounted to and a tree.

John Deere cylinders are the only ones I have ever encountered that use snap rings. They can be difficult to work on. Every other cylinder I have rebuilt utilize end caps that screw on.
@athhud2 жыл бұрын
Worst design ever! I can see why they use it though. I bet they saved a ton of money by not having to cut threads or do any precision machining. Cut one groove in the bore, chamfer the end, and you’re done. They’ve probably got $100 or less invested in the manufacturing of those cylinders. Then they can paint it green and sell it to us poor saps for several times the price. They really aren’t too bad to rebuild, once you get the hang of it. Having to compress and install that damned snap ring is my least favorite part of the process. I also skip the hydraulic oil money shot and pull the rod out with a truck/tractor/tree or any other immovable object. I despise having to clean up oil...

Help! I am rebuilding a 520 lift cylinder and I was wondering if the first blue bore seal (wiper seal?) you put on, on the outer facing end of the gland--does the groove face in and lip face out or vice versa? Also I have a hard plastic type seal that came with the bore kit. It has a rybber-like ring on it that will be impossible to fit inside the bore--i have no idea where to put it. Is it possible that it is extra? My seals were so crumbled that I had no way to use them as a guide on how to mount the new seals. Your video has been a life saver!

Probably too late, but for future reference the inner seals face lip in (to keep the oil in) and the outer seal faces lip out (to keep dirt out).
