    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    Now I'm stuck a little bit again... I decided to try and use the "Red Knob" to extend the machine forward, to more easily work on the machine. (But it ends up being too high up in the air) And now I have the tower part bottom cylinder fully extended, and it seems to be stuck, and it won't...

    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    Absolutely no problem. I appreciate having someone to commiserate with on this job. When I took the image on the initial post message, the boom was stuck up high and the hex fitting looked huge, but when I looked at it today up close, it's only about a 1/2 inch hex, and I found a hex socket...

    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    Finally! Out of the mud and at the shop. I had to move the earth, but it's done. Now begins the procrastination cycle. This usually involves at least 1 bender. Hours and hours of indecision. And more. First I have to figure out what size that hex thing is, then order the wrong one, then the...

    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    I did push the wiper back home, and you're exactly correct, the damage is internal. Using the image, what number #, is the gland? #3 looks like a big threaded ring. Are you saying this can be unthreaded, and everything pulled out, fixed, then push it all back in, while the bottom is still...

    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    I'm just getting back to this thing. It just started getting warm outside. Could you tell me about the hex fitting around the end pin? Is that 3/4 inch? Or is it a metric? I'm going to try to fix the cylinder myself. As soon as I get it un-stuck from the mud. I just got it retracted today...

    JLG 40 hydraulic cylinder seal

    This is from a JLG 40HA, main lift cylinder. I was just running the engine, and when I moved the main cylinder up, this happened. I am starting from zero on this one. Is this a seal that can be replaced without removing the entire cylinder? Is this the "packing" ? Does the larger diameter...

    JLG 40HA Basket Stuck, Not Rotating

    SOLVED! I had the idea to raise the machine and try to get the basket hanging upside down as much as possible, and then try to rotate it. That really didn't work. But then I thought I would try to extend the machine to all it's limits and try to rotate the basket. This did work. I raised the...

    JLG 40HA Basket Stuck, Not Rotating

    I think I've found where the valve is located. I've found from the parts manual, 4 Stack (With Rotate) (August 1992 to Present) Can anyone tell me which valve is for the rotate motor? (If it is actually located with these other valves) And can this valve be actuated manually by pressing in on...

    Case Industrial Brown Substitute

    Thanks for the words. I was going to clean it up and primer it anyway. And then put the panel back on and work on it. A filter and the air cleaner hangs from this panel. You never know if someone has an exact number from exact experience. So it goes. Obliged.

    JLG 45HA Stuck in Low Idle

    Alright, problem solved. I decided to see if the platform/ground switch was working, by trying to start the engine in the platform position. The machine would not start, indicating the switch was working, at least half way. So, then I became brave, and opened up the engine...
