Maybe Danny will see this and get on here and give you the low down on repacking them.

Bart, ******Check with your dealer to make sure this information is correct.********* All you will need is 8 of part # 72000650 (packing) they cost me from a local ac dealer 27.51 shipped to my house. Here's the link on rebuilding them, select slide show in my link when you get to photo bucket if you have any questions pm me. Danny Here is the pictures of rebuilding of the loader cylinder for a WD9 today! http://s577.photobucket.com/albums/ss212/dannyraddatz/?newest=1 - http://s577.photobucket.com/albums/ss212/dannyraddatz/?newest=1  ------------- Danny Raddatz |

If the cylinder looks like this picture, you can tighten the packings by closing up the gap shown. Do not over tighten. Some oil must weep through to lubricate the packings. If the rods are pitted or have deep scratches they will eat up seals no matter what you do. The options then are, get new rods made, live with the leak, or buy different cylinders.

Good thread so far. I just re-packed mine last week- and it worked very well, the old rams seem to be fine holding 100% now with the new packing. I was worried about the rams being out of round or pitted, but they seem to be good. One Question: How tight should I pull the end caps down? I am afraid I may have them too tight now, possible starving the outer-most packings of oil. Thanks! Trale

Did you bleed the piston bearing at the bleeder screw, remember it should be done each day before you lift. The problem is if you have air in the cylinder and try to lift the air will escape, this will cause heat friction between the ram piston and seals and cause a friction burn. Then over time the the seal develops a leak, in the picture Tucker posted you will see the bleeder screw. Make sure you know what your doing when you bleed the cylinder, Hydraulic fluid is very harmful to the human body, wear PPE. Back to your question that is a paint stirrer I used as my gauge for the first tightening down the cap. You should see a fine film on the piston but not a leaking from the top of the cap. Danny Here are 2 pages from the owners manual for the loader, you should try to get one, this should answer your question.   ------------- Danny Raddatz |
