REBUILDING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS JOHN DEERE 420

[@LloydSpivey]

Nixon Welding in Edenton has a whole row dedicated to hyd cylinder parts. Take your old pieces and match it up. That's where I get mine.

@@LloydSpivey good to know! Thanks for the info!

I found this interesting since I've never really messed with these other the replace a line. I'm curious if there are bushings on either end where the pins go in? I don't recall you saying anything about that. My dad purchased a new compact tractor last year and I was shocked to discover there were no bushings.

[@RustyWrenchRestorations]

@Jason1Pa no bushings on this one either. Some do... some don't. Of I remember correctly the pins are softer than the bucket brackets... like how railroad car wheels are softer metal than the rails. Easier to change wheels as they wear than rails. Of course they do still obviously wear also. Fortunately these are in great shape and have little slop.

[@Jason1Pa]

@RustyWrenchRestorations Yes you are right. I've been hearing on occasion that the rams on the newer stuff isn't as hard of metal as it should be and they get egged shaped plus the pin ware as well. I wouldn't surprise me,but I'd need to ask if they are getting grease enough.

[@RustyWrenchRestorations]

@Jason1Pa unfortunitly I think alot of people neglect simple maintenance ie: greasing perks often. Lots of operators out there running someone else's equipment t and just don't car and aren't held accountable. Takes 10 min to grease perks and check fluids. I agree with you!
