Well let me tell you my story. My FH was letting me down, literally. I took the hydraulic cylinder apart and replaced the o rings. That was an easy fix if I can do it anyone can. The only “press on” part is the dust seal and that is easy to push in.
The o ring that is likely to be the problem is the one on piston head. Mine was broken, and I just got the seal kit and replaced them all. I used a bit of grease to reinstall everything and it all went together well. I screwed the pipe fittings back on to install the hydraulic hoses and I tightened them too tight and split the cylinder head. So I had to take it all back apart and I braze it, [moral of the story watch how tight you are getting them]
I had a rebuilt pump, I had a rebuilt FH valve, and a rebuilt cylinder. I thought MAN I am good to go. WRONG! **#$^$(@^(@*^$$(*^&$^%&^$%.
Was all I could say when I went outside the next day to a FH sitting on the ground. Well I went to my manual and started to read. What I didn’t know was the button on the top of the cylinder is the valve stop limit. That button MUST be pushed down to “lock” the cylinder in place. It changes the cylinder to be in that place until the lift is raised. So I put on my blade for some weight and set the limit stop. After three days it was still in the same place.
If you think your cylinder is good you can test it by setting the collar stroke limit to push the valve down. Turn the tractor off with the valve pushed down and see if the FH drops. If it does fix the cylinder it is easy to do just don’t mess up like I did. Ron
