Hyster - Removing Lift Cylinders

In this video I remove the main lift cylinders on Johnny #5 aka my Hyster space saver forklift. I believe it is an S25 model. I included a product link to the item I purchased below. This is an affiliate link and I will receive a small commission if you purchase the item.

Nice work Andy! 😁👍 Glad your spacers turned out like you were hoping. Keep at it and have fun! 🔧

Thanks Zane! I was on a mission to get those cylinders rebuilt. I think the seals and hoses probably surpassed what I paid for the old Hyster 🙄 Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Just picked up this Hyster S25AP. We got a propane tank for it and it fired right up! We have to do the Mast seals as well so great you're doing a video thank you.

Excellent! I am happy any time my videos can help someone else. Thanks for watching and good luck on the cylinder rebuilds. 👍😁

I was wondering what the plastic was for in the last video, I thought maybe body mounts for old Margaret now I see. Looked like a pain to take apart. Johnny will be golden when your all done. Take care Andy👍

Thanks Pete! After waiting so long for seals I was determined to make the ones I ordered work. I think the plastic spacers / guides might do the trick! Thanks for watching my friend! 👍😁

Andy, glad to see that you are finally giving the S30 some attention. I just finished rebuilding the Y112 engine in mine, I am basically getting close to the point of having rebuilt the whole machine. I am curious about the side shift, I tried to find a side shift for mine but I couldn't find anything. Can you post the information from the side shaft, and what valve is required. Thanks a bunch.

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks! I purchased mine with all the side shift components already installed. I will try to snap some photos of the unit and post them on the channels Instagram / Facebook pages. It might take me a few days to capture them. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Did the seals have part numbers on them? I have a S30A i need to rebuild the lift cylinder on.

[@FlatThunder]

While my lift cylinder seals seem to be performing well I don't think you want them. I made spacers to accommodate the wrong width of seal at the piston. Thanks for watching and best of luck finding the correct kits! 👍😁

Good work, that would be over my head!

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks Patrick! I'm sure you could figure it out. The hardest part is not pinching your fingers in the process. Thanks for watching my friend! 👍😁

Good Job Andy 👍

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks Donnie! I'll be happy when the forklift is back into the heavy lifting business. Thanks for watching my friend! 👍😁
