Dale, Thanks for asking. The snap ring is still out of the end of the cylinder and I'm still waiting for it to blow. I'm hesitant to try to extract it because it will be damaged and then I'll have a forced decision to make. At this point, it's weeping out the power steering cylinder rod seal leaving a little of pink ATF on the guard. I've checked the reservoir several times and the level hasn't gone down enough to refill it. I'll just play the waiting game and in the meantime I'm looking for a replacement cylinder. If it blows, I'll put in the new seal, if it doesn't I'll find a replacement cylinder. Ken McWilliams

: : I finally have my 420B reassembled with loader and backhoe mounted. The rod seals on the boom, dipper arm and bucket are all dripping. : : My experience with CASE has not been cheap. Whenever possible I try to use aftermarket parts. Does anyone know where I can get rebuild kits for these cylinders other than CASE? : : Also, the dipper bucket rod has a bad area about .5" wide and 2" long where the chrome is completely missing and has rusted badly. Each time the rod extends this area has captured some oil and it spills out. Are there shops that can rebuild the rod with weld, centerless grind and rechrome? : : Ken McWilliams
: : Dayton, OHio : Hi Ken: Yes, all of those rod processes are available at commercial hydraulic rebuilders. There certainly must be some in a city the size of Dayton. How did the steering cyl go???
