jd 445 steering cylinder

[toyfarm]

i considered trying that, but never rebuilt a standard cylinder before, much less one of these. Then the other question would be, where to get the parts?

Unfortunate for you but you'd have to travel 70 miles to that hyd repair shop to get seals....JD doesn't stock them that I know of....

Just to update... bit the bullet and went local JD dealer. They were kind enough to match the price of online dealer for $253 not a great deal, but better than the $275 they wanted!

Thanks for all your input and suggestions!

I was just going to let tall know I offer the seal kit for this cylinder. Am118796. I also rebuild this cylinder for 174.88. Maybe this will help. Take care. 828-443-8023

They are repairable with a lathe and the proper welding equipment (TIG)

The butt plate needs to be machined apart (opposite side of the rod)....then rebuild, reweld and test.....Done......

They take standard seals internally.....
