    1967 Case 580CK dipper hose replacement

    I had one of my hoses split and leak last year. Because they were all about the same age, I replaced all four. Just lay the boom down like stated above and work what pressure may be in the lines by working the valves with engine off. I took a cutting wheel and cut the fitting off one hose and...

    580CK with Model 33 Hoe, Cylinder Reseal gone wrong

    I did, the barrel was good, I replaced the brass spacer, the seal kit comes with new ones, I only used enough heat to soften the seals and continued to crank on the come along the entire time to walk it out of the tube.

    580CK with Model 33 Hoe, Cylinder Reseal gone wrong

    I must disagree just a bit, one thing is that it's unsafe to pressurize a cylinder of this size when not secured, and the other is, if the rod strikes a surface thats just a hard it can dent the rod surface or even gall it. I will admit I have charged small cylinders in the past on the bench...

    580CK with Model 33 Hoe, Cylinder Reseal gone wrong

    Update: use medium heat all around the end of the cylinder, after putting the unit under a load of pulling stress. After about 20 minutes of heating the housing she popped. Fire wins again.

    580CK with Model 33 Hoe, Cylinder Reseal gone wrong

    works good on the same cylinders, on the larger cylinders I use my track loader as a dead head and do that very thing as well, just this is the first time I have come across a seized up cylinder...real PITA

    Not my first rodeo, pulling harder as you stated was not working. In the last picture that I just posted you can see the plunger on the end of the shaft, it contains 8 sweeper rings that are of a stiff rubber compound, the cylinder that is stuck has never been serviced, the sweeper seals are...

    580CK with Model 33 Hoe, Cylinder Reseal gone wrong

    I started repacking the leaking cylinders on my hoe, the dipper cylinder was a breeze. I moved onto the lift cylinder 2"X4" cylinder that was a weeper and I thought it would be an easy go like the first cylinder. Boy O Boy was I wrong. The end of the shaft is stuck in the bore just inches...
