Did he say why he couldn't get them apart? I've run across several that others couldn't get apart, but with a little time, ingenuity, and a few choice curse words, I got them apart.

Had one awhile back where I had to grind a hole in the barrel in line with a snap ring, and take it out in pieces to ever get the gland out. Now that was a HUGE PITA.......but my time was cheaper than a new cylinder, so it took what it took.

Just tonight I had a 6 inch cylinder off of a 10054 Skytrak that was a challenge. The gland was screwed in and had only two pin spanner holes to get it out. My spanner with a 3/4 Swench on it wouldn't budge it. I wound up welding a piece of flat stock to the face of the gland to give me a striking surface. Given that the gland was cast it the shock broke the piece off after one or two hits, and I had to weld it back on three times, but it finally broke loose and screwed right out.

Now I've just got to call tomorrow and figure out which order the two lip seals go on the piston. When I got it apart, there wasn't enough left to tell what was what. One is like 9/16 wide, and the other maybe 3/16 wide. Given that I've never seen one that narrow in a 6 inch diameter, and the fact usually piston seals are both the same size, I don't have a clue which seal goes to which end of the cylinder. Too, I've got hone some light scratches out of the bore because the piston was riding the bore once the seal crapped completely out.

Going to be another busy day tomorrow, but I'm not complaining......

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
