Replacement RT Stabilizer Cylinder for Woods BH-7503

[hydestone]

Hi All:

I need to replace a stabilizer cylinder on my Woods BH-7503. The original part number is 62498. Unfortunately, they are +/- $900, so I am looking for an alternate option. Surplus Center has one by Prince Mfg - Wolverine 9-8771-14 that looks like it will work, but it's out of stock. I am thinking of replacing it with a 9-8771-12 instead since I need to use it before June when the other cylinders will be back in stock. I'd also get some 1" to 3/4" bushings, since my pins are 3/4" and the replacement cylinder has a 1" hole in the end attachment.

The specs are a little off from the original. The stroke is a little shorter, etc. I use the tractor around the yard for misc stuff like moving small rocks, digging holes for shrubs, or clearing brush in the woods.

Thoughts on whether the 9-8771-12 is a viable option for replacing the Woods 62498?

looks similar to what you need, 2" bore x 14" stroke ?

I think so, thanks! I just picked my old original cylinder up from the hydraulic shop. I’ll try and measure it up.

My pins are 3/4”. The holes in this one are 1”. I’ll need to track down some bushings. Looks like 1” to 3/4”…one at 2-1-2” long

Yes, very similar. The end connection is a little different, but that might not matter?

I just picked up the old one from the shop, see attached photos.

looks like I’d need two 1” to 3/4” bushings for that one. One at 2-1/2” and the other at 1-1/4”. Any suggestions on where to source those? Get one 4” long and cut it down to size?

hmm, couldn't be rebuilt ( bent ram ??)

1/2" black iron pipe might work.....
CAT1-2 conversion bushings ??

Piston was apparently too scored. Rebuild and repack was going to be $600.

You my want to get a second opinion on that rebuild . I've repacked plenty of rams for tractors & if it's just the piston I'd get another look at it .

Yeah, doesn't seem too bad to me, but I'm a novice on this kind of stuff. Between labor and parts I was thinking the cost would be close to what a new replacement would cost. The new one posted by GreensvilleJay is $229.

Any idea what a typical cost for repacked cylinder would be? I'm in MA.

A good hydraulic shop should be able to custom make an exact new replacement of that size cylinder for $400-500. Finding the shop that makes them the trick. Most shops sub out to them and add a couple hundred for customer service for handling.

I would try real hard to get a very similar cylinder.

The shop I brought it too is pretty reputable, been around for a long time and recommended by a friend who owns a bunch of equipment. I know of another reputable shop that's an hour away. Just thinking that what they do won't be cheaper than a new one for $229 plus tax. Plus it'll save me a couple hours of driving.

The one suggested above is pretty similar, but not exact. It's for a stabilizer leg on a small tractor. I'm just moving stuff (logs, rocks, etc) around in the yard and digging holes.

Seems like it's pretty close on for the dimensions and working pressure. I think the stroke length is off by 1/2". I don't know how critical these items are for a small backyard tractor. Just want to make sure I don't ruin the backhoe.

WHen I rebuilt the rams on my old Case 580 . I pullet the rams apart & took the gland & the piston to a hydraulic shop in Reno Nv & got all new prart to fit my piston & glands for @ $50.00 per ram , some were cheaper . I ended up buying the special tool for getting teh inner packing in the gland after screwing a few up . These things ain't rocket science . Watch some youtubes .

I am a big fan of replacing rather than trying to repair damaged cylinders. Have a look here.

You need to compare retracted length in addition to cross tube fit. Bushing the cross tubes down is easy.

If its in stock at Magister USA delivery is fast and free. The cylinders are actually made in Ukraine and the war has severely impacted their supply line.

Check McMaster Carr for the bushings you are looking for.

Using a tape measure, I come up with 21-1/8 for the retracted length. Basically lifted the stabilizer leg all the way up and measured from center of pin to center of pin. Thinking it's probably 22".

Cross tube fit is good. The leg connection is 4-3/16" wide, so it has bushings on either side of the ends.

The port on the original cylinder is SAE 4. The Chief is SAE 6 and the Magister is SAE 8. Any issues using a reducers?

Reducers??? If youvare talking about port size you simply buy the appropriate port adapter and you are good to go.

I tried to install replacement cylinders on my Woods BH 750 backhoe. The problem that I encountered was the difference in the ports on the replacement cylinder. On the OEM cylinder the port on the rod end points to the rear. On the replacement cylinder I bought the port points up. When I installed a 90 degree fitting to get the hose connected it was much taller than the OEM connection. I needed to modify the stabilizer leg because the 90 degree fitting would have hit the stabilizer. The arms required extensive modification to allow the replacement cylinders to clear.

 

[hydestone]

Thanks for the heads up Sam. I ordered one from Tractor supply which has flush ports, see image below. Figuring I’ll put two 1/2”F x 1/4”M 90s on it.

Do you think I’ll have any issues with that setup?

You dont need 1/2" fittings on something like that and you can get even more clearance using smaller hoses with 90 degree male ORB hose end fittings.

Dan - Existing are 1/4”. But the new cylinder is SAE 8.
