B219 loader cylinder rebuild

[Turk999]

Ok I am now ready to start to pull and rebuild all the cylinders on my b219 Frond end loader. It looks fairly easy and I already have all the rebuild oring packs. One question that I have is when I go to put everything back together does the nut have a tork spec? The nut is number 5 in the picture.

Good luck on your rebuild... It is something that I may need to address myself this summer on my B7100. I have the same loader.

Where did you track down your rebuild kits?

I found them at: http://www.goldeneagledirect.com/index.php
Part number: 70050-00123
For $17.82 each cyl.

Great, thanks for the info, it's on my to-do list also.

I don't know the torque spec for the nut. However I do know they need to be really tight and you need to put locktite on them. I just finished doing mine. I used my 3/4" ratchet and tighten them as much as I could.

kubotasam...

Are we talking Blue loctite or would this be a Red loctite application here ?

Is it the same kit for both the Lift cylinder and the Tilt cylinder ?

I think so. I bought 4 packs. Will be doing them in a week or so.....hopefully!!!

OK, Thanks...

I'll wait to hear how you made out before I place an order for the kits.

The blue locktite is what you want to use. All 4 cylinders use the same kit.

So do you remember the size of the nut? I want to make sure I have the right size if we are talking 3/4. Nothing worse than starting a job and not having the right tools at hand.

 

[kubotasam]

I do not remember what size the nut was. If I had to guess I would start at 1 1/8".

I stopped by harbor freight and picked up a set of 3/4" drive . As I write this I can say that I have started the process. I removed the two big ones from the tractor. After dinner I'm going to start tearing into one of them. I was pleased to find out that the hoses disconnected fairly easy even though they were pretty badly rusted. The hardest part, so far, was that I had one of the retaining pins rusted solid into the pin that holds one end of a cyclinder on. But with some PB Blaster and some working, it did pop out.

Ok so far I was able to get one tore apart and all the orings changed out. I had one hell of a time pulling the rod out. The lip on one side must have been hit and I had the file it back into place so the head could get by. The nut was very easy to break free and it was an 1 1/2". I got lucky, it was the biggest one I had. Also a note about the snap ring. Go buy a nice pair of snapping pliers. The ones I got from harbor freight broke within the first few minutes. It's 2:30 am here so I stopped for the night. I had 2 rings left from the kit and I'll go back and double check that I did not miss anything looking at the diagram before I put it all back together. I'll keep everyone posted on the progress. I did take a picture of the piston when I removed it and will post in tomorrow.

Here is the picture.

Ok I was able to finish the first two. I still need to hook them back up to see if everything holds. Just another note. The nut on the second one was the same as the first, tight but not real tight. When I get them put back on and test them I'll let everyone know if they hold. So far the hardest part was removing the seal on the end that is exposed to the weather. It is pressed in and I had to destroy it to get it out.

 

[Turk999]

Well I was able to get the two back on the tractor and all the fittings tight. No leaks!!!! Now no to the other two. Just as a recap the kits that I bought worked perfectly. I did have one o-ring leftover for each cylinder. Not sure why but I replace all that I took off. If you are going to do this it is fairly straight forward and not bad at all. Just have a big hammer, good snap ring pliers and a 1 1/2 socket also something to pull out the pressed in one like a small screw drive. good luck and if you have any questions just ask.

Hi Turk,

Thank you for the updates. Sounds like you have done a great job so far!!!

When you are talking "the pressed in one" are you referring to the wiper on the end of the piston that keeps all the crap out of the cylinder? Did you need to press in it's replacement or did it just slide in place? If it was pressed in what did you use? Did you take any photos of that part?

Thanks, Dan

Yes that's the one. And no the new one does not just slide in. I just pushed it in to where it just stead in place. Which was just bearly in. I then turn the whole head over placing it on a flat surface. Then head it with a hammer a few times and it went right in to place. Just start out slow to make sure it's going in and your not just bending the new one. I'll be doing the next 2 soon and will try to take pictures of it or video it. I'll post it when done. Maybe this weekend. Maybe I'll try to video the whole thing. Never did that before but will try.

Sorry for not getting back to the cyl rebuild. I broke one of the steel lines on the loader and have been rebuilding the line. I still plan on videoing the last cyl rebuild in the next few weeks and will post it. For now here is some pictures of the line rebuild.
