460/560 Rear Lift cylinder rebuild

Posted by slb04786 on July 19, 2005 at 10:01:00 from (24.97.224.242):

I recently tackled the task of rebuilding the rear lift cylinder on my Farmall 460. The new kit is somewhat different than the old piston seals that are currently installed. The new kit has 4 fiber rings similar to an automotive piston ring. They are split like a piston ring. There are 2 of each color and thicknes. I assume 1 of each thickness goes above and below the piston O-ring that came with the kit. There are no instructions with the kit. Does anyone have instructions on putting this kit in? How are these rings arranged on the piston? Is there a special tool to compress the O-ring between these rings to get the piston into the cylinder? I have an automotive ring compressor but it doesn"t put enough pressure on the O-ring to get it to seat between these rings. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
