I've paid the hydraulic 3 times to fix the leak. I've used factory o rings to repair it twice, The insanity has to stop. Doing the same thing 5 times and getting the same results has to be the definition of insanity. I'm trying something different.
Hydraulic shop strongly advised against using any glues to fill in holes in rod saying the glue will fall out under 2000 psi and then cause problems else where. Well my rod looks good, I'm thinking my problem may be at the end of cylinder where after running a brake home it appears to have some scratches. I'm filling the scratches with devcon, a liquid steel someone on YT recommended. If the glue falls off, good chance it will be pushed out the end of the cylinder where it appears to be leaking from.
Going to let the devcon dry for 24 hours before I sand it smooth with brake hone. The pic shows the devcon. Only going to replace only the one O ring that I suspect is leaking. I hope the insanity stops by trying something different. Also think because the two O rings on the piston were damaged when I removed it from cylinder and somehow the scratched on the inside of they cylinder was the reason. Forgot to say how much fun it was getting the new o rings on the piston. They would roll 90 when installed. Then I had to use two screw drivers to twist it back properly, what a pain.
Post back if it leaks. Then, I might looking for a new cylinder. geo.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
