    1976 F-250 dump

    I have a 1970’s Dodge dump truck and it has a single hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder is also the reservoir for the hydraulic oil.

    Installing seals (without ripping them) in swing cylinder Case 580K

    That's the way I did mine on a 580C. Worked very well but the only thing I did different was I wrapped electrical tape around the seal before clamping it.

    Asphalt millings

    The millings where much better when the milling machines were smaller as they produced millings with more fines. As the machines got bigger, they produce bigger pieces and less fines. The ideal millings are the one just fresh out the millers.

    Asphalt millings

    When we did the shop yards it was 5 to 6 inches thick. But the key was the application of tack oil over them. It depends on the amount of traffic that is going to be on it. The thicker the better if the road or area is going to have heavy traffic.

    Asphalt millings

    I worked for MDT for over 20 years and learned with millings is that they need lot's of water when put down. We put them in our shop yards and what worked best was after laying down and rolling them we would spray the top with tack oil.

    How much to reseal some cylinders?

    I agree with MG84 and do them yourself. I’m in the process of doing all 12 on my 580C. Its not that bad of a job if you have all the right tools and leave them on the machine if possible. Got all the seal kits (USA made) from Dale at a very reasonable price.
