Repairing a Leaking Hydraulic Cylinder on a John Deere 4300 Series Tractor installing seal kit Ep43

[@brucecharette1521]

Thank you for the great video. I believe that I can use the same procedure for the 1025R JD. Or at least it should be the same but with different parts. Well done.ty.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Were you able to use the same process on your 1025R?

[@popsblair1]

Great video. Thanks bo

[@terryneighbours9]

Great video. Any suggestions on what to do if you can’t drive the cap back inside after the snap ring is removed. Both of mine go in about 3/16” and will not go further.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Are they rusted up or anything or just seem to be stuck?

[@terryneighbours9]

Seems to just be stuck

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

@@terryneighbours9 maybe just needs a little bit bigger hammer(just make sure you don’t hit the ram)

[@terryneighbours9]

Got it done with 3lb hammer. Now on the 2nd cylinder there seems to be a bunch of air trapped in the cylinder not allowing the rod to come out. Feels like it’s pulling into big spring..

[@terryneighbours9]

Any tips on getting that trapped air out?

[@MikeMarks-f3s]

Do you have a video for the lift cylinder ? Thanks for the great tilt cylinder rebuild video ! Mike

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

I do not unfortunately(well fortunately I didn’t have to do it). The process should be the same. If you find the seal kit number from JD buy the seal kits online and you’ll save $20 or so not buying direct from Deere.

[@MikeMarks-f3s]

Would you happen to have that part number ? Thanks for the help. Understanding which direction to put the beveled ones in will really help !

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

@@MikeMarks-f3s I do not unfortunately. I ended up selling the tractor. Are the cylinders the same diameter? If they are it may be the same part numbers

[@richwealth262]

its the same @@southernyankeeinnovations

Nice video, you don't happen to remember what size the nut on the rod was do you?

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

It looks like I may have oil residue on my 1 1/8” socket but I can’t be sure it’s from that.

[@AltarWz]

@@southernyankeeinnovations Thanks sir, was fitting some ground with my 3150 I couldn't hear everything haha.

[@chrismirez4706]

Do you not need the orange seal to reinstall

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Just for the removal

[@kellykerridge7157]

Good video. I watched 4 before yours. None of them knew what they were doing. Why make a video if you don’t know how to do the job? Thanks. Very helpful

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

I’m not an expert by any means but I am glad I was able to help you out!!

[@lynnmclemore1140]

Great video. Thanks.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Hope it helped! Thank you!

[@rupe1768]

Did the rod removal tool come with the seal kit?

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Yes sir. If you plan on doing multiple cylinders hang onto your old one because they’re easy to mess up.

[@laredotech]

Nice video. I just wish i could find the torque specs in that nut.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

try calling your local JD dealer they may be willing to look the spec up for you.

[@blackpepe]

tight as shit, JD used that bullshit red lock tite on mine last time they rebuilt

[@zacharyhall1576]

Any suggestions on what to do if the orange ring keeps breaking?

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

If the orange ring is seated properly it would make me think maybe there is a burr on the cylinder causing it to catch

[@thomascarron3983]

The seal kit AH16965 does not come with the inner seals where did you find them?

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

I picked them up at my dealer. I thought they were in one kit but I bought another one and they weren’t in there either.

[@thomascarron3983]

@@southernyankeeinnovations Did you happen to write down the number of the inner seal kit? My dealer id telling me they are not available. Mine is also a 4300 with a 430 loader.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

When I get back home in a few days I’ll try and remember to look around for something

Thank you

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Glad to help

[@katienida8267]

Where do you get the kit from?

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

I ordered it straight from John Deere.

[@jonesy4588]

is this a 430 loader ? my 4300 doesn't have a snap ring at the end of cylinder .

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

Yes sir it’s a 430 loader

[@jonesy4588]

@@southernyankeeinnovations why does mine not have snap ring , kind of looks like a cap that screws off

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

@@jonesy4588 does it have indentations for a spanner wrench to turn it off? Maybe it was a split year type thing where some years had one style cylinders and then they switched

[@jonesy4588]

@@southernyankeeinnovations ok thanks I found another video that shows how it comes off .

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

@@jonesy4588 perfect!! Good luck!

[@gavinkrause1496]

Be very careful removing the hydraulic lines. I snapped off one of the fittings on mine. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get that out, which is why I watched your video. I’m not even sure you’d need to remove them the way you did it still attached to the loader.

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

I had a stick snap off of my fittings and fortunately was able to get it repaired without replacing the whole cylinder. I wasn’t sure how much I’d have to fight with the extra pressure if I didn’t take the lines off so figured it’d be easier.

[@dagovillanueva7314]

do you bleed the cylinders and if so how do you bleed them

[@southernyankeeinnovations]

No need to bleed. It’ll push the air back into the reservoir where it’ll be removed from the system.
