I'm in the process of resealing the dipper cylinder. It was leaking from the gland seal. Otherwise the cylinder worked fine. I assume that because of 2 bad areas I need to replace the piston, or maybe it doesn't affect it. If so, any recommendations where to get it from? Broken Tractor has one for about $270 delivered. I've heard of them but don't think I've ordered from them before.
Had no idea that the seals/rings would be so bad. I've done several other smaller cylinders on the machine and none of them looked bad at all.
Also, should I be worried about contamination from the old seals? As of now everything works fine on the machine. Should I just change the hyd. filter after running it for a while?
Thanks,
Doug
