I would like to rebuild the bucket hydraulic cylinders on my Paulson loader. Is this something I can do or do I have to hire it done? I found the kits so I know they are available. Your comments would be appreciated.

John

I'm not sure exactly what your cylinders look like, but in general, cylinders are pretty easy to rebuild. First, you'll need to get it apart. This is done by seperating the guide at the rod end of the barrel from the barrel. There are several means by which the guide is held into the barrel. Some thread in. Some use flanged end caps with four threaded rods running from one end of the cylinder to the other. Some use two snap rings, one on the outside of the guide which must be removed first, and another one inside the barrel which is accessed by driving the guide inwards a short distance. You'll have to examine your cylinders to see exactly what you've got. Once the guide is free from the barrel, try to pull the rod/piston out of the barrel. This can be tricky sometimes, especially if you've got the type where you had to drive the guide inward to get at the inner snap ring. What I end up doing somtimes is secure the end of the barrel to the legs of a large cherry picker. I then attach the end of the rod to the boom of the cherry picker and jack it up until the cylinder is fully extended and the cherry picker is putting pressure on it. I then strike the guide end of the barrel with a rubber hammer, and it pops apart (watch out for flying parts). Once you get it that far, it should be obvious how to remove the piston from the rod, and which parts from the kit go where. Make sure to check the rods for straightness with a good straightedge, bucket cylinder rods are often bent from abuse/hard use. If the rods have any knicks in them, carefully clean up the sharp edges of the gouge with a sharpening stone or emory cloth. Don't try to remove the whole knick. If the barrels show any damage, they can be cleaned up with a hone, but that may be a little difficult on somthing as long as a loader cylinder.

Thanks for your response. You're information is appreciated. The Paulson loader is on a tractor. It's about 30" long. I have it apart and have the repair kit on order. Is there any trick when you push the rod with the seals on it back in the tube? I've never done this and just wondering how hard I'll have to push on it to get it back inside. It came apart fairly easy. I guess I just want to make sure I can put it back together without some kind of special tool or machine. John in wisconsin
