tilt cylinder rebuild

Those are the correct parts but there is also a 4F7952 ring in each. I believe that's an O ring.

Toughest part is dealing with the rod nut. I usually clamp the rod eye in a press to hold while turning the nut.

thanks Old Magnet.. so quite doable.. how long can I expect to be at each cylinder?? is this a weekend job, if I am taking my time??

I don't see any reason you couldn't knock it out in a week end at your leisure.(famous last words)

thanks... once i have sourced the seals and packing, I will schedule the rebuild...

I resealed all the cylinders on my 941B---that rod nut was a job to get loose!--service manual said 640 ft lbs but i think they were much tighter.
I locked the eye in the track frame and then a 1 inch drive socket, breaker bar and 10 ft pipe.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket place for the seals and ppacking?

Cat is a bit dear and would like to see if I can do the job for a little less cost.

thanks

Thanks OM...

that site wasn't very helpful, but I found the following site that had kits for many models of Cat.

I have asked for a quote and will see how competitive they are to Cat genuine parts.
