    The Ultimate Small Dozer

    I have always wondered about these dozers. I remember seeing them advertised in "Southern Equipment Guide" newspaper back in the late 1990s and early 2000's. What kind of parts does it use that you cannot buy? Can you go to the Doosan dealer and still get every part? Is it made of components...

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    Hi. Sorry, I didn't see your message until now. I used a big pull handle with a pipe slid over it. Then. I hit it with impact watching marks on socket to see how far it turns. I counted the threads to match what it was before removing nut. I checked my punch mark on the nut and the punch mark on...

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    ok. got the piston packed and ready. I am putting it back together. Tightening the nut on the rod to hold the piston. I noticed that there was no o-ring inside the piston where it butts to the rod. So, i guess i wont put one now when putting back together. The piston only has that wear ring with...

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    That black ring on outer gland that is “mished mashed” behind they yellow ring they it twisted. It looked fibrous and flattened out and kinda square. But, is it really a damaged and broken down o-ring due to age that is now flattened and crumbly? Or am I needing some kind of fiber ring? The...

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    Thanks for the replies. So, the kit that came in a bag for the internal part of outer gland did not include the outer gland o-ring and backup ring that compressed between the gland and the cylinder Barrel just behind where the barrel snap ring and groove(where filler ring would go). But, the...

    SO, I found my service manual. Thank god. As I am putting the kit in this gland, I noticed that when taking my used kit out of the gland to install new....there is no o-ring to remove on the inner part. But my new kit has an o-ring. Where would this o-ring go? No grooves inside the gland...

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    Is it a good idea to use seal retainer when I press this outer dust seal in? Loctite brand of some kind? I guess I can use a similar size socket and hammer to tap it in?

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    Oh, good. I guess parts prices are the same no matter what dealer you buy from? I have a local John Deere tractor dealer. They are always expensive for tractor stuff so I never go there. Guess that’s why I never buy my heavy equipment Deere parts there.....

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    I sprayed white lithium grease as lube everywhere. That is why barrel looks odd and caked up. The white lithium grease is all over chrome rod.

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    The ring allowed it to slide apart easily. But wow, why can’t someone 3 model they plastic thing and sell it on eBay for $5.00. Unreal. So...I guess there is packing on the inside of the that piston.....?

    john deere 310c backhoe has delay in hydraulics jerky weak

    Thats a good Idea. But, alas, I have already ordered and recieved the 3 orange filler rings. I wanted some to keep cause I will be having to build the other cylinders on backhoe soon. What could be the reason for this design? Why would Deere choose this? Why not use the old fashioned simple...
