Leak In Hydraulic Cylinder

[HorseFixer 2,013]

Has anyone repaired Hydraulic Cylinder on a C-120? It looks welded on both ends and does not look like it comes apart. It looks like its leaking around the Chrome Cyl Rod. Is there a seal that can be replaced around that rod? :scratchead:

Does anyone have any info? :scratchead:

There is a manual for repair of the hydraulic lift valve and cylinder, I have one. It shows the three types of cylinders. The welded one should have a snap ring holding the rod guide bushing in the cylinder.

Only the GT-14, 18hp Auto, and the D-Series cylinders are not repairable.

my C160 is doing the same thing so im hoping you find out and let us know

Duke - all hyd. cylinders have a seal for the rod & piston assy.

If yours is welded together - sounds like a job for a Hyd. shop to rebuild, if they can

But ,if they are like the ones around here - they'll try to sell ya a new one for

$$$$$$$$$

Does yours have the snap ring on the rod side? You can download the manual on Toro's site, use 1-0485 for the VIN...

Nope I just went out and took MORE pictutures and posted them up on the thread before your reply, I went out and double cked made sure I wasn't having a azzhole attack! For once i wasn't By the way looks like I need to degrease the underside of this tractor! Thats what happens when ya have a leaking Cyl and dont fix it like the last guy who owned it! <_<

Maybe he didnt fix it 'cause he couldnt work out how to get it apart!

[C-Series14 15]

OK...see the pics of the rod end. I guess there is no snap ring! I am confused now going by what the manual says... :scratchead:

Gee ya think? Well I downloaded the El-Manuel and it Looks as if someone may have changed this Cylinder. The manuel says it has a retaining ring on the rod side to take it apart as you can see by the pics "NOPE" <_< looks like I got screwed again! <_< A matter of fact, sometimes I feel I get Screwed more than Hue Heffner! :ychain:

Hey duke

I don't think the welded cylinders are rebuildable.

The cylinder can be fixed but it has to be put into a lathe , rebuilt and re-welded very carefully. Not fun...and expensive.

take it to a hydro shop mine was cut open ,rod polished replaced the seals and welded back up works great and no leaks

[CasualObserver 3,410]

Or watch flea-bay and pick up a used rebuild-able one. I read in a manual or service bulletin (can't find it now....) that the original #6618 cylinders were not meant to be rebuild-able, but the replacement #105254 cylinders were.

Edit: Found it... Service Bulletin #177....

:thumbs: Jason and everyone else that assisted in this... Well looks like I will have to find a donor Cylinder Its not leaking that bad like all over but it does leave a spot on the floor. Ill just throw a rag or put a pan w/some kitty litter in it for the time being till I find a cylinder. :notworthy:

Duke, a Hyd. shop should be able to rebuild it.. I have taken welded cylinders to a local place in the past and they ahve rebuilt them, course now they were larger ones....off a dozer but it can be done.

I rebuilt my C-160 cylinder, but you need a lathe and a good welder. I chucked the cylinder housing in a lathe and use a narrow cutting tool to cut thru the factory weld. $5 worth of o-rings and welded it back together. That's been about 5 years ago and it still holding.
