tc30 power steering loss

tc30 power steering cylinder

Could use some help with steering on my tc30.
My tc30 suddenly stopped steering.
The piston in the cylinder is broken.
Looking for a place to buy a new one.
Cylinder assy is $500 +.

Well i removed the cylinder today and the piston rod is broken. New holland dealers only show entire cylinder assembly in parts diagram #sba 34495261 for $500+. Says piston rod not serviced separately.
Anyone know where I can find one? That and a seal kit and I will be good to go.

You could try calling one of the salvage yards on this page: Massachusetts Tractor Salvage Yards

Thanks Don,
Will give them a try.

Take it to a hydraulic guy, he might be able to order the piston itself and seals. Yellow pages. Gardiner, Fitchburg should have a place. The guy who can make hydraulic hose, also knows who can repair cylinders, order pistons, seals.
Goodluck.

Many hydraulic shops can completely rebuild the cylinder with a new hydraulic shaft for very reasonable cost.

am replacing the lines so i will start with my hose guy.
thank you.

 

[tctony]

Keep us informed. And save that link I posted for salvage yards. You or a friend may need salvage parts at some time, and at the top of that page is a button to look up salvage yards across the country.

To Don, tcreeley, and IH3444,
You guys were on the money. I had to travel a bit to find a guy, but he will make me a new piston and new hoses and seals for a bit less than half of a new NH part. Will be ready Monday and my little blue friend will be working Tuesday.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
