Hydraulic Valve

Recommended Posts

azc145

I have a C-145 that has an oil leak on the hydraulic valve lift valve. The valve works great it just leaks. Any ideas on where I can get new O-rings? Or maybe an alternate approach that I could use to seal the leak?

The only marking that I can find on this valve is "Ward Co". Any ideas on how to better identify this valve? It does not look like the two valves that are shown in the C-145 parts manual.

Any Hydraulic shop should be able to help you, let your fingers do the walking as they say.. The oval seal is just an o-ring that has been in that shape so long that it stays that way.

You can do a little measurement and find o-rings at hardware and auto stores also.

You probably go to a hydraulic shop to make sure that you get o-rings that are compatable with hydraulic oil and of the proper hardness to withstand the pressures in the system.

as long as they are Viton instead of Buna you should be fine

Must be an early 1980 C-145 with a Sundstrand. (Wheel Horse p/n 106680)

Check with member "kj4kicks" (Eldon) to be sure, but I think THIS KIT on his website should fit your valve. :thumbs2:
