Here's what it looked like this morning . Almost a steady drip
This is the first time this cylinder was rebuilt. It's 17 years old. Tractor is a
2004 T5C. I had to fight the rust on the pin . Used WD40 and a big hammer. I won the fight. Next battle was removing
The wire that holds the end in place. Once I moved the end a little I grabbed the wire with Vice Grips (vise grips) for the smart spellers and used hammer to hit the grips to remove the wire. lol. It's a battle to get the piston out. So I don't remove cylinder. I use hydraulic pressure to push it out. Better have a way to catch a quart of oil and use ratchet strap to catch the rod or it could end up on the other side of the barn. After I removed the piston I polished the rod on an atlas lathe that is my age or older. But the 600g sand paper put a mirror finish on the rod. I could see the individuals LEDS in light about.
I ran my finger across the rod when I was spinning. Any imperfection you can't see you will feel. The rod had no signs of abuse. There was 17 years of the rod scuffing the end can when piston is fully extended. I was surprised the factory used an O Ring and backer, instead of U seal on the end cap. No idea type O rings my hydraulic shop. They look like black O Rings. U seals are white.
I'm done for today. I left a small O ring at my other pole barn.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
