    Bantam S-628 Telecruiser upper extend cylinder seal replacement

    So it turns out everything is not completely done. I carefully removed the 20 foot ram from the cylinder bore. At the bottom of the ram there is a nut. The manual says there is one set screw holding it in place. Look for two because there is more than one. Remove the nut and then you are at...

    Bantam S-628 Telecruiser upper extend cylinder seal replacement

    Yes on the plasma table. My son bought the first version of a plasmacam a couple of years ago off craigs list. While it was an older unit it had never been used. He got a great deal and I was thrilled. We have a hypertherm for the plasma cutter. I have to admit, I like old machine tools and...

    All questions are good questions. I did righty loosey but I couldn't get it to move any farther. I made witness marks on the barrel and the gland to judge movement. I couldn't get it to move any in the clockwise direction. It moved about 1/2 inch in the counter clockwise direction before I...

    Bantam S-628 Telecruiser upper extend cylinder seal replacement

    The previous pictures show the set screw indention, the head gland, and the cylinder end. I made a spanner to insert into two of the opposing holes. The set screw indention is where I thought a pin might be. After looking at close ups I now don't believe that is the case. It is just a mark...

    I am looking for information on how to remove the head gland from the upper boom extend cylinder on a Bantam Telecruiser. I removed the the set screw on the thread ring and successfully removed it. Next up is the head gland. I looked at the drawing in the maintenance manual and I don't see...
