I'll use Messick as an example.
When you rebuild a Case backhoe hydraulic cylinder this is a screw for the gland nut. It's a No #8 -32x3/8 thread cutting screw (type F steel). I have one screw I may have messed up. Most places want crazy money for one screw. part #187-1524 or also 86642312. I did find a similar type screw on Grainger where it was like a few bucks for 100 of them.
What the repair manual tells you to do is after a rebuild tighten gland nut then drill a new hole right where the threads meet. Reuse screw. I've seen people in videos just line the two hole halves up and call it done but I've always found them way off. WE have a case AG dealer in town. I may swing by there out of curiosity or just call the area Case Construction dealer. The official Case website shows them out of stock. I have 4 cylinder leaks that have been neglected since I have not really needed the backhoe. I got one rebuilt after much aggravation and the swing cylinder I could not get the gland nut broke loose. It's hard to whack the threads which usually solves that problem. I may have to crawl under hoe and pull the other pin to remove cylinder assy. Sometimes I find it just as easy to rebuild cylinders while partially attached to machine.
