Putting new seals in a leaking hydraulic cylinder. The tractor is a Kubota B7500 with a LA 302 Loader. These cylinders only leaked when the temperature was in the 40s or lower. I'm tired of cleaning up oil. 🙂
Wish they put the number on the cly like JD does Easy to get correct kit every time 😊 I’m retired hyd mechanic and I like watching you’ll figure it out Good job 👏
Thanks Tom, I had no idea how to change my seals and after paying $112 .50 au ,I didn’t want to Stuff them up.. I even made a pin jig similar to yours with great results .. It’s people like you that take the time to post these videos and enlighten people like me Who hates paying for jobs you can do yourself using these posts ... Thanks again ..your a bloody champion pal.... steve from Melbourne Australia...
There’s 6-piece spanner set (“coil over adjustment tools”) on Amazon for $23 that is well worth the price. Bought it to replace seals on a John Deere 500C steering arm. The zip ties are a slick idea for compressing a lighter internal seal, but heavier ones will require a tool. A set of three was on Amazon for $36 in March 2022; unfortunately it is now $46. It was noted that the loader and seals were made in the USA. Take apart the wheels - as I did the other day for repair of my B7500’s front tires - and you will see that they were supplied by USA company.
Hey I got a question me and my grandfather are trying to find out where the hydraulic pump is on this tractor if you do could you please let me know because he wants to replace it
I've never had a problem so I haven't researched it. I did dig a little this morning. It looks like it's internal. Here is a link to the parts diagram. Good luck and thanks for watching. www.colemanequip.com/parts/model/Kubota-B7500HSD-Hydrostat-4WD-Compact-Tractors-Parts/ENGINE-34117/HYDRAULIC-PUMP-34357/
One of the cylinders was resealed a few years ago by the dealer. You're right, hard seals and rod shrink. I have them all done now and no leaks. Long overdue Thanks for watching!
I never use hydrocarbons on seals unless if I know it's viton. Try slideglide or some shit I think it's called I always called it slyglyde it doesn't melt or freeze but probably cost 3 times as much as that tub of vaseline lol
I was actually thinking while I was making the video, there must be a better product then my old school vaseline. I'll try your slideglide next time. Hopefully l'm done with hydraulic cylinders for a while. Thanks for watching!
