Hello everyone,
On my Davis 185 backhoe the boom and dipper use the same cylinder. So far I have pulled the dipper and the bucket cylinders. Pulling the number off the seal. I found the seal for the bucket(Assuming the right seal was used). Even though the dipper and bucket use 1.75" shafts...
Hi everyone,
Sprung some leaks and so I will have to get into repairs now, rather than later.
In the parts book for my Davis 185 backhoe cylinders, it mentions leather cup. How do you go about figuring out what kind, size etc.

Good morning,
This past summer I installed a ZINGA 25 GPM suction side filter to go with my pump that is 17 GPM at 2000 RPM. I also installed a spin on replaceable air filter for the tank breather. I have a gauge that I can monitor from my seat, It originally ran vacuum in the 0 to 10 range...

Going through the various manuals and parts books for the loader and backhoe, I have been able to determine the sizes of...
Hello everyone,
I am hoping to put off rebuilding the 7 cylinders and the 6 spool valve on my Davis 185 backhoe until winter kicks in, however I would like to prepare myself for what is involved. When your dealing with cylinders or valves that no longer have seal kits listed, how do you go...
Hello all, new to this forum.
I have a Davis 185 Backhoe with a leak on the dipper cylinder. The leak is in the hard tube that runs from the fitting housing up to the other end. The leak is on the underside so access is difficult.
Have a call into a bone yard to see if they have a replacement...
