My little backhoe has 8 hydraulic cylinders. So
far, I've had three that developed leaks and I
rebuilt them.
Is there a way to make them last longer? I don't
leave backhoe outside for rain to wash the fine
dust particles in the cylinder.
Do they make something that wips the cylinder rod
off to keep the dirt from reaching the hydraulic
seal that is prone to leak?
I've always purchased the complete rebuilt package
of seals, around $40, when just one seal is the
problem. I really need to find a place to buy just
the one seal.
So, is there a device sold that will keep dirt and
dust away from the cylinder? Place to buy just one
seal?
Thanks
