I have not worked on that cylinder I worked on Bobcats for a while and did many cylinders. It is most likely just an O ring that may be avilable from many places. I was told that you can use O ring kits that you cut off of a roll and glue together. you could try that if you cant find the right size loop, not much but i hope it helps.

If you have a Case Construction dealer near you, they have kits for them. But, you will need to disassemble to see which kit you need. They used at least two different pistons in those rams.

Or, if you have a good hydraulic shop near you, they can do it.

I bought the kit through Case, and had a local shop do the work. About $70 with parts & labor.

Excellent thanks DJ. I don't have a dealer near me up where the the machine is but I have one down here (3.5hrs south). I was wondering how much it might cost to have someone do the work.. Thanks that helps a lot:thumbsup:
