C-120 Hydro Lift cylinder leaking

[oldhorse2 3]

I've been working on eliminating oil leaks on my C-120 Hydro Lift (Kit Mod. #8-4113). I replaced the leaking hose, and now find that the cylinder(#6618) is leaking around the rod. Is there any fix for this? If not, how do you go about finding a replacement? I tried the Toro site and came up empty.

That one is a factory welded cylinder and you'd have to ...on a lathe...cut it open, vey close to the circumference  weld.  You should then be able3 to replace the internal O-rings, as well as the o-ring seal at the end of the shaft.  Once O-rings are replaced, weld it back together with the assistance of a PROFESSIONAL welder....not someone who makes boat anchors.

 

   

OR... buy one that has replaceable o-0rings.  I have two of that kind in my shop that should suit your needs.
