Hydraulic cylinder

[roy.lange]

I have a # 57 loader and the hydraulic lift cylinders leak. Since the previous owner and I have reworked them I’m afraid the parts are not correct. Some one have a kit? The cylinder for the snap coupler is different.

A "517" loader ?????????? There is no such thing as a #57 A-C loader that I'm aware of.

Just take it to a hydraulic shop, they should be able to match up some seals that will work.

I said I’ve been to a hydraulic shop and I don’t believe the parts used are correct as the rebuild failed in less than a year. I’m looking for the AC original parts

For what ???? a hydraulic loader with hydraulic cylinders on the bucket?? a 517 model loader ??? and what does the cylinder for a "snap-coupler" have to do with anything related to a loader ???

I believe i said it’s not the same. Kits for the rock shaft ,snap couplers, inside the differential are available here but that’s not what I need I’ll post a picture of the brass tag on the the loader for more information

I believe those cylinders just have chevrons in them. It looks like the end caps are tightened way down. Again, if I am not mistaken, the pack of chevrons is placed in the housing, and the cap is snugged, not tightened. Then it can be snugged up more later.

I always called them “packing” instead of seals. They are just V shaped round pieces (usually several of them) that you slide over the rod and they seal off when you tighten everything up.
Go to the local hydraulic shop. If they are any good they will know exactly what you need and should be able to get it for you.
