Cylinder “O” ring kit

[Big Daddy Den]

I have a 1996 Case 580L and i’m looking at replacing the “O”rings in the front bucket cylinders. I phoned one of the nearby dealers and the cost for one cylinder is $206, I can get another kit at a parts store online for $70.
My question is would you guys recommend going with the dealer at the higher cost or would the other one be okay to use?

Are you talking about the complete cylinder seal kits?

Got my seal kits from Reliable Aftermarket Parts. Dale Weiss at e-bachoeparts is another good place.

Ya the complete kit, I think there’s 8 in total, 200 bucks seems high for 8 rings.

Of course its high! They have to pay those lousy pats guys LOL. RES gave you what you need above.

I am not sure if you are only looking for an o-ring or the whole cylinder rebuild kit. If it is the kit, below are some reapable people. The first is Hercules product, and the second is Bulldog product. I never get seal kits from the dealer since I found aftermarket sources.

I've had good luck with aftermarket seal kits on my machines. Here is one for your machine on Ebay.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll look them up.
Where are they located?

That’s awesome, thanks for the help guys. I’ll be looking at some or all of the places you recommended.

We repacked all of the cylinders on our Super L a few years ago. We used the Bulldog brand seal kits. I got the spanner wrench and unscrewed the gland nuts and left the tube on the machine and took the kit and rod/gland assembly to a local hydraulic shop and let them break it down and rebuild then we just slid it back in the tube. I did have to take the whole cylinder in for at least 1 outrigged in. I could not loosen gland nut. The ones that were already broke down they charged about $50 each. The whole cylinders were close to $100 each labor. The swing cylinders were kinda fun, luckily the gland nuts came loose and I did not have to pull those cylinders. I pulled a few at a time and picked some up and dropped more off.

That’s great, I may do the same. Seems like everything here in Canada is so much more expensive.

RAP is in Michigan, 2 days to get my parts in Tennessee. Dale is in Illinois, same 2 days to get parts. Reliable sells on ebay too. You'll need the # off the gland to order the seal kits. A lot of them even though the same year changed the seals.

Agree that I would go aftermarket. I have used CEA out of Florida and O Rings & More NC. Never had any problems with either
