Replacing Seals on a Ford 770B Loader | 1710 Tractor | Man About Home
Hydraulic seal replacement on a Ford 1710 tractor with a 770B Front Loader.
I've never done this before, but there's a first time for everything! The lift cylinder seals on my tractor's front loader, decided to dump oil all over my driveway this Spring when I drove it out of the barn.
I got the job done, but I was just learning as I went. Next time, I'll be ready to do it better.

MAH, This instruction was exactly what I was looking for for my 1710 with a 770B and two leaking cylinders. Off to fix my tractor this weekend! Big thank you.

[@manabouthome]

@guesswhotoo6 You're welcome! However, I've learned something important about this job since I did the first one. I plan to try doing it differently on the next one. This should help a lot. Do you have the 770B manual? There's procedures in there to loosen and tighten that seal compression nut on the end of the cylinder rod. You can remove the hydraulic fitting on the fixed end of the cylinder to gain access to the seal nut. Poke a pin or drift through that hole, into the hole in the seal nut. I imagine getting it lined up will be a bit tricky. Then rotate the cylinder or cylinder rod to loosen or tighten the nut. If you don't have the manual, you can contact me via my gmail address found on this channel. I'll send you scans of the cylinder seal replacement pages. Thanks for watching and commenting! And good luck with the seal replacements.

Very good video sir .

[@manabouthome]

Thank you! And thanks for watching.

It’s like looking into a crystal ball. Good job on the video. I have the 770a with a small drip for the last 3 years. I bought the seal kit for it, but haven’t gotten around to it. Looking for a full tune up this spring, so prepping my mindset.

[@manabouthome]

Thank you. If you have the manual for the 770a, I've since learned that it gives good instructions on disassembling the cylinder and piston. If I ever have to replace the seals on the other side, I'll be trying their technique to loosen that round "nut" that holds the seal pack so tightly. It appears to be a lot better than how I did it. You can probably find a manual on line if you don't have it. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@user-uh1ne7iv7l]

Excellent video...thanks for the instruction and teaching about adaptation, and using the tools at hand.

[@manabouthome]

I really appreciate your comments. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Great job! I have leaking cylinders also that I need to fix. Thanks for sharing👍👍

[@manabouthome]

Good luck with your seal job. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Very nice video, just rebuilt a cylinder on my 1710 for my first time. I had a few trips to the dealer. But I got it done. And works good now. Mine was way different than that as I have a bradco loader on my tractor. Overall good to see that process all the way through.

[@manabouthome]

Thanks for your comments. I was learning as I went, with this job, and I've learned some useful things after I did it. The next time I do one of these, I'll be doing some things differently. It sounds like you got it figured out as you went, as well. Thanks for watching!

[@ericsbr]

Thanks for this video. I’ll be doing this job soon. You mentioned a service manual for the 770 in another comment. Could you please share where you got the manual or just share the helpful info it provided? Thanks Eric

[@manabouthome]

Eric, I have the manual that came with the loader when it was new. It's the Ford Series 770B Quick Attach Loader, Operator's Manual. They're available from several sources if you search. I'm also adding a link in the description. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@patmurphy8157]

i have the same tractor runs good some issues now getting hard to find parts for it

[@manabouthome]

I've been wondering about parts availability. I haven't had to find parts for mine yet. But I'm sure I will at some point. My tractor is still running good. I've been working it pretty good this Summer. Lot's of mowing with a six foot finish mower. Thanks for watching!

[@fordman77881]

Where did u get the seals and part number

[@manabouthome]

I did a web search. Seals are available on Ebay and Amazon. I have to warn you, the seal kit I used wasn't exactly correct. One of the new seals was thicker than the original. All the others were perfect. I was able to make it work for now, by not tightening the piston seal nut down all the way. It's working as it should, with no leaks... for now? But when I do the other side, I'm going to dissemble it first to make sure all the seals I get in the kit match correctly. If there's a mismatch I'll talk to the supplier directly to correct the discrepancy. I used SML22859. Thanks for watching!

[@cowboy104537]

What is the part number for the cylinder kit?

[@manabouthome]

Best bet is to call the dealer. But I used SML22859.

[@cowboy104537]

Looking at the New Holland Ford part list that is the same number. Thanks for the information.

[@manabouthome]

@@cowboy104537 You're welcome. It's good you found verification as well. Thanks.

[@tomcox954]

Do yourself a favor and buy a nylon hammer for tapping those seals in.

[@manabouthome]

I have plenty of soft faced hammers. I used what I used because it's the best option for the job at hand. Thanks for watching.
