Every oil seal I've installed in my life has been with the cavity facing the oil to which it is holding back...what the heck?????????? The seal you pictured is only a dirt seal , It's purpose is too wipe the shaft clean as it travels back into the gland . The shaft oil seal is located in a bore under the dirt seal , It is the black seal 2nd from top left that you pictured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray54 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 May you get lucky at the hydraulic shop, I have. I only have old "junk" but by my standards a new JD a 1250 with a JD loader. Cylinder's leaked internally bad, have a JD dealer local that has been good over the years. So I buy rebuild kits so a take it apart put it together in a few hours. Nothing right in the kit, so off to town. No other kit for the diameter of ram. So off to the hydraulic shop, had what I needed in stock less than 1/2 of dealer price.

Koot Kraftsman Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 I understand what all the parts in the kit are, they just don't match up with what I took out of there. I fear the rod seal (the one that goes in the middle of the bore) is incorrect but I've been wrong before. The part numbers are all correct or at least match what the book calls for so I'm going to install both seal kits and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koot Kraftsman Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Got both cylinders rebuilt, re-installed and greased to the hilt... they leak all over the place. Just kidding, the C3 seal kit worked and everything operates smoothly with no leaks at all, not even the cylinder with the dent. Of course only time will tell how long they will hold up but I'm satisfied for now. So for a 74 TD-8E the 626230C3 kit is good! Now it's on to really put her through the paces and see what's what. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWF Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Good to hear you had success! I had a 74 TD-8E for over 20 years, had good luck with it. DWF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
