But how do I know the diameter of the o ring, does it swell, are all three components a kit of common known size, when is the cylinder “done” lines scratched etc? Neoprene, Viton, McMaster ?or other companies
Its the same basic procedure. The only difference would be that the type of cylinders is different. The cylinders you mention would most likely be a higher pressure type with piston and rod seals along with the cartridge seals that I showed. If its a push pull type there would just be twice as many parts as a single acting type. What I have found over the years that the smaller the cylinder the harder it is to rebuild because the size of the parts and how stiff they can be. I use a trick where I soften them up in hot water. In short if you have a cylinder you want to rebuild I would be more than willing to give you any advise / help with part identifying and ordering. Just let us know.
Mamco Machining Thanks. I am looking at buying a used forklift for the shop. I found one fairly close to me that would be perfect except the mast cylinder is leaking. I was thinking if I could tackle the repair on my own.
@@MamcoMachining Well we finally got the mast cylinder rebuilt. A pain in the butt. It was like a mixture of standard and metric sizes for the seal, glands, and wipers so no rebuild kit we bought was perfect. We had to piece meal it together. Also Have not heard from you guys in awhile. Hope everything is well up there.
hey Mike who the F is this guy - how come he's taken over the MAMCO channel - you started this channel and I thought you did a great job - this guy is a dud.
Good video
Thank you for watching
Excellent video, I've got the same seal installation tool.....makes life a lot easier.
thanks for watching
Nice, thanks for the info. I have a cylinder needing new seals. I may tackle it someday soon
If you need any assistance identifying or ordering parts let me know
good job boys
Bonus points because you fixed the camera stretch :-)
Interesting on how to repair these cylinder
Very interesting, how come theres no rubber seals on the bottom of the rod, I would of taught there be a set of seals down there too,
Its the design of the cylinder. Everyone is a bit different. These larger snow plow type cylinders use the hard piston type ring.

Just curious is it the same procedure for like fork lift masts and cylinders on tractors and such?
