Blackhawk front end loader seals

[james waters]

I have this loader on my satoh beaver. One leaks bad took it apart and there is a groove wore in the seal housing. Does anyone know where I can get parts or a replacement cylinder

try a hydraulic shop that rebuilds cylinders. they may have a replacement housing or can repair it.

Well I took the loader off because I can see this will take some time. I capped off the two lines coming from the pump now the tractor wont start so I believe or I think the fluid has to circulate and iam dead heading it so the tractor is hard to roll over. So back to the store tomorrow to get a fitting to hook the lines together so the fluid can circulate. Do you know if iam correct

That’s not right either. The pump needs to pull from a reservoir and then dump back into that reservoir. This prevents the pump from sucking air (which isn’t good for it) and allows the fluid to cool and get filtered before its next trip trough the pump.

Yeah it wasnt that I put them together and got the same result. To be honest I think the the cylinders may have had to much fuel in them. Well I charged it overnight a ground on the starter moving the throttle to differant positions and it took off but it was a hard start. Now it's fine and fires right up. Iam baffled. And good news I found a guy that builds from scratch and repairs the hydraulic cylinders. Took mine to him after work and he said it will be done by thursday. I did not see a problem with the shaft but he did it looked like it had a weld arch on it. Small but we believe that's what started the groove in the bearing housing. The guy works a full time job and works this bussiness from 5 to 10 pm and sat and sunday. Some of the stuff he showed me he was working on was amazing. Not much to these cylinders if you can run a lathe and welder and measure you can build them. If anyone wants his card I can take a pic of it and send it or post it. He is in roulette, pa
