rodhergott Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Td9 1949 with Bucyrus-Erie blade. Hydraulic cylinder leaks. Any suggestions for repairing. Can I replace the packing if I’m able to find kit. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebunns Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 rodhergott---I'll be waiting along with you for where to buy packing. I could use some for the cylinders on the Isaacson blade on my TD-14. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebunns Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I've done no research. Through the years I have periodically tightened the nuts to minimize the leaks but now feel that I'm at the end of "tightening the nuts". What is the site you are talking about?

jeffrob Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi from sunny Australia. You need to find a supplier of chevron packings in your part of the world. Once you establish a supplier, dismantle the cylinder and use the packings as samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmi Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 cant think of his name at the moment.(BOB) he sent us blank stock to update to nylon ,v seal and oring you have to be able to measure and describe what you want that older system is likely still leathers or even u/v cups https://linkhydraulic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlF Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Try McMaster Carr, they had it the last time I needed some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodhergott Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi earl. I looked at McMaster Carr website and contacted them they replied that they likely have the product but don’t know what I need. By chance do you know which product I need. Thanks for the direction so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoTD9 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Rodhergott, I have a TD9 with the same setup. I recently had my cylinders overhauled at a hydraulic shop near me. They said the cylinders are pretty simple and replacing the packing and seals was easy. I don't know what they used, but you could give then a call tomorrow and possibly get them to send you the parts. They should remember me since they had a laugh about how old the cylinders were and it was only about a month ago. The shop was Old Dominion Hydraulics in Richmond, VA.

rodhergott Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanku matt. Very helpful. I called them They kinda remember but not really. Did u get invoice with parts list or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoTD9 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That's annoying. The invoice only says, "Kit." Let me see if I can get any more info out of them. I called and spoke to the guy and he said you could either send him the old ones and he could fine replacements OR you could take the measurements of the rod, the groove, and the height and he could get them that way too. He charged me $54 for both packings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
