 Topic: Front Loader Mdl 9, Seal Leak Help...
Posted: 21 Jul 2012 at 12:52pm |
I just sprung a large leak of hydrualic fluid coming from the packing end of my right loader ram. THis is a model 9 "tube" loader mounted on a 1955 WD45 tractor. Is there anybody out there that can help on what to do to repair this leak...I need to get back to work.
Thanks a million for any info...
Dave

There are bolts that hold the packing in place. Try tightening them down.

Thanks for the replies!! Much appreciated,
Before I read your replies, I ventured out on my own to solve the problem and discovered the bolts on the packing retaining collar were loose. After tightening, the leak was markedly reduced and I finished my work for the day. Looks like I'll be replacing the seals...
THanks a million!!

I sprung a leak again after lifting a 1000 # diesel engine...tightened the packing bolts a bit more and that fixed it. Thanks!!

There is no "seal" in there. It is a chevron packing and can be purchased at most any hydraulic supply house given the rod diameter, gland inside diameter and packing height. Costs about $10-$12 for one cylinder. http://www.sealsales.com/packing/vpacking.htmlIf your rods are scratched up or galled, you'll play heck keeping the leaks down. Rust pits are heck on the packing also. This kind of packing needs a little bit of "weep" of fluid to keep them lubricated so over tightening can cause problems also.

Yes, I will take that seriously!! I recall learning of this danger when I was in the Air Force and we had to use high pressure hydraulics to jack-up very large aircraft.
Additionally, I learned by experience to never put my finger in front of a car wash spray nozzle at a mere 100 PSI...It sliced my finger like a razor...and then a bad infection made it much worse.
Thanks for the safety briefing!!
Dave
