Replacing Hydraulic Cylinder Seals – Part 1 – Preparing to tear down the cylinder

I am preparing to replace the hydraulic cylinder seals on my New Holland LB75B backhoe loader tractor. The cylinder has been leaking and getting worse by the day and I want to replace the seals myself. People also call this repacking or rebuilding the cylinder. Bringing the cylinder into a dealer or hydraulic shop is going to be anywhere from $500 to $1000 just in labor and I am sure I will need to replace more in the near future.

I purchased the PDF service manual fro the tractor and plan on doing most if not all of the work myself. There are 10+ hydraulic cylinders on this backhoe which counts for a lot of seal kits to replace. Then add the fact I have 4 tractors that will all need this done one day and you have a lot of money invested in cylinder rebuilds.

I also go over the different types of hydraulic cylinders that you will find on a backhoe and what they are named so you can find the seal kits easier when looking online. This tractor is a New Holland and its parts catalog is available online. You can print out your parts and the diagram to help you with your rebuild.

The New Holland LB75B is a pretty popular backhoe in mainstream construction. I bought this one for what I think was a good price to use it strictly on the farm. It has about 4000 hours on it and still runs great. I can expect to add a few more thousand without major issues.

John Deere 450C Bulldozer

So we bought a JD 450-C bulldozer. Its a 1980 dozer with 6 way blade. I look it over and run it to make sure it all functions correctly. I have the service manual for it that I had purchased and downloaded online. I am going to go through it and replace the fluids, lube it up and fix some of the hoses.

The service manual has lots of great information about servicing these older dozers and keeping them running. The John Deere 450C is a popular model that has most of the parts still available and parts machines are all over.
