755 Leaky Steering Cylinder...Seals?

[nightskyisme]

My steering ram/cylinder leaks from the shaft exit area...but it looks like a sealed unit (no seal/nut packing like on snow-plow rams) is it repairable? Don't tell me it isn't repairable, that would really s**k. Thanks

Unfortunately, it's NOT a DIY repair. the end caps are welded on. You need to consult a local hydraulic shop to get an estimate on repairing it.

Wow, I thought so, what a poor design, who would have thought to design something like that....thanks

I broke the shaft on my 4310 and the welded cylinders are non-repairable. The "good" news is the replacement cylinder is rebuildable!!
