Dennis, I had to chuckle to myself. As the project was being done and you were giving instructions, the video reminded me of one of those cooking videos where the person explains their cooking process. For someone that needed to repair the leaking cylinder, the video was very well done, and we all learned something about hydraulics. I always like to take advantage of seeing someone else do these repairs, since there are so many variations and differences in cylinders out there this really helps when the time comes we might be facing a similar repair. Thank's for taking the time to show us the whole process. Nick, North West Farmer
Great how to video. It's hard to film and work one handed. I drill a hole in a short block of wood, saw it in half, and use them for soft jaws on the vise. Tie em' together and hang em on the wall. I've got em' from 1/2 in. to 1 3/4. They're pretty handy for holding round things. They sell those kits to fit different cylinders; sorta one kit fits all. That's why they charge an arm and a leg for em'. I use electric tape on the threads to help keep the seals from getting buggered up when putting them back together.
You don't want to use petroleum jelly/Vaseline, it will dry out the rubbers used in the seals and o-rings. You want to use a silicone grease, there are seal specific greases.
Dennis, Great video just rebuild my fork lift ram on my 1967 ford mustang steering.Your a Great teacher if I didn't pay attention like you showed us I would have put the seal's on backwards. Mama, Must be so proud of you being able to work with your Hand's..lol
The pick you refer to is a scribe. We use it a lot on helicopter sheetmetal. Also instead of vaseline you probably should use hydraulic fluid to lubricate the packings and orings. Great video!
@@DLHFarms We made it through our third season with the 6 star Krone. We've had issues with the sealed rotors...[twice] . Don't ask me to give star ratings to this $22,000 tedder. We just got the bill for the kit. $146.00. I hope that is for both sides. There isn't a lot of oil loss, but in transport position, enough oil flows down cylinders and actually gathers on the roters. Pretty close to ending the worst haying season we've EVER had. Rain rain rain. Never made a bale of hay in JULY. Keep the vids coming. :)
Very good and instructional video Dennis. We appreciate it a bunch. I can't believe the price for that seal kit. Wow!!!! Thanks for the video buddy. I hope all is well up in the Meadows.
Hello Dennis,great job on the seal replacement.You are now in that time of the season that you have to do repairs ,serveice . The hard part is being able to work every thing into a workable time slot . Take Care ,be Safe ,See you later
Nice to see you, Dennis and Merry Christmas and all that. You can put those in a vice, but you need to use some soft jaws of some sort. Keith Fenner and Abom79 have a bunch of hydraulic cylinder rebuilds on their channels if you want to see how they stick it in a vice. I ain't trying to be rude or say you did it wrong, just trying ta help ya free your hands up and make your job easier. Hope life is good for y'all out there in Meadows of Dan and thanks for making videos.
Another thing you can do Dennis is soak them seals in hot water a while it makes them more pliable to push in there grooves easier, the same with the piston seals which can be a pain.
A vise would be alright to support the rod as long as there was either wood or thick leather between the jaws of the vise and the rod and even then, only to help support it and not clamp down extremely tight. Great video thank you for taking the time to share
Marvin Foley in Stuart Va. He is semi retired so he may not want to build it. He is almost 90 years old and still does a lot of the work with just a couple other guys.
I guess in glad I've never had one of those cylinders go out I wouldn't have figured that out lol I have two of those tedders and it's all I can do to keep them from falling apart!! What setting do you have the gauges set at on the wheels
I bought a set of seal compressors after doing my first seal. Actually I bought them for my neighbor so it will be easier on him when he helps me next time LOL!
I rebuild cylinders at my job . I live in Ohio , but we get our seal kits from a company called Dayton seals . They are alot less expensive, you might give them a try, they are not OEM seals .
Go ahead and repack that up and down cylinder in the middel myne has leaked down sence day 1 like when u goin from field to field u have to hit cylinder to raise it back up i tryed 2 get the dealer to warnty it but they wouldnt
I worked as a mechanic for 34 years at the 'job' and have packed many cylinders. I used to pay the big bucks to pack my own JD equipment cylinders here on the farm. Then I found a company here locally that sold the individual seals in bulk by size and type and if you took the rod from the cylinder they would put the seals on the head for free. My kits went from $80(+) to around $20. The company was called Lube Specialist. I think they are a national brand, check if you have one close by. It will save you big money.
@@DLHFarms And by Krones rubbish design, having to poke the threaded section of the rod through where the head seal sits, you'll end up having to do that seal again. Those threads arent kind to seals!
You may want to look at this. th-cam.com/video/lLP1DHQBSNU/w-d-xo.html Its a tool to install seals like this. Amazon sells a set called IT TOOL SET-A - SealTool Seal Twistor 5 piece hydraulic seal installation tool kit. Since you deal with Hydraulic seals a lot. Maybe worth it. Never used these happen to see it before.

Haha I'm not much of a cook but I can fix a cylinder
Dennis, your videos are educational, I have learned a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work.
Awesome!

I've used it for years on many seals with no issues
Great video. Love the remote mic.....makes hearing so much better.
Thanks 👍
Really enjoyed this video. We need more repair videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Bill!
Love these kind of vids, love to work on stuff and its so helpful, thanks
Awesome 👍
Man it's insane how easy some are to repack and how difficult it can be on others. Hope this ice storm coming takes it easy on y'all.
Yeah everyone of them is different. We're definitely getting some ice but not sure how much
You made that job look very easy. Thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍
Nice video Dennis, very informative.
Thanks 👍
Great stuff to know if I ever need to repack one of my cylinders. Thanks for sharing.

We have always used Vaseline on them never had any problems.
Never saw a cylinder come apart like that .very interesting. Thankyou great videos . you take time an explain. Appreciate that Thankyou
Thanks 👍
Very informative....and worthy of saving for future fixes. Pricey, like everything Krone offers. Thanks!!

Thanks 👍 have you had to do this yet?
DLH Farms not yet but I probably will soon one of ours has one starting to leak
Great video Dennis. Thanks for sharing.
👍
Hey Dennis, great expectation of how to change seal. I have done this once before. You make it look easy. It was not easy for me. Thanks 🙏👍👍👍
It can be challenging
Very good and instructional video Dennis. We appreciate it a bunch. I can't believe the price for that seal kit. Wow!!!! Thanks for the video buddy. I hope all is well up in the Meadows.
You might can find it cheaper somewhere else I got mine from Messicks
Great video Dennis, thanks. Can't wait for the snow pushing, although I expect you can.
Haha 👍
You make it look so easy.. thanks still waiting for the snow videos 😂😂😂
Thanks Tim I'm still waiting on the snow haha
Great video Dennis. Repacked a few cylinders before.
👍

Thanks! Yep been working on everything here lately lots of oil changes.
Great info, Dennis! I will always remember not to put my rod in a vice lol
DeHaven Family Farm yes those are words to live by😂
okay in her vise
Oh geez haha

Thanks for the tip Paul
Wow thanks. For replying . i grew up same environment. 61 now very entertainment Thankyou
Your welcome! Thanks for watching.
Cool video. Thanks Darr
Helpful video. You would make a good teacher Dennis
Thanks Mike
Hello Dennis,
Good job, Happy Holidays to you and your family 👍
Thanks and same to you!
Another thing you can do Dennis is soak them seals in hot water a while it makes them more pliable to push in there grooves easier, the same with the piston seals which can be a pain.
Thanks for the tip
That massey look in good
A vise would be alright to support the rod as long as there was either wood or thick leather between the jaws of the
vise and the rod and even then, only to help support it and not clamp down extremely tight. Great video thank you for taking the time to share
👍
Dennis Have a happy and healthy and blessings to you and the family.......Godbless...
Thanks I wish you the same happy New year!
Looks good Dennis, I use a good piece of leather to hold the rod and housing in the vise.
A shop rag folded up will work too if you don't get crazy with it.
I always put them in hot water makes life lot easier for reinstalling the seals. But each to his own
Never tried that but I will next time
Good idea 👍
Like the video Dennis.
Thanks 👍
Merry Christmas!!
Same to you!
Thanks buddy! Question....who built your shop? Looking for a local company to build us a nice shop!
Marvin Foley in Stuart Va. He is semi retired so he may not want to build it. He is almost 90 years old and still does a lot of the work with just a couple other guys.
Good morning Dennis. Hope everything is going well.
Going good thanks Joseph!
Nice seal rebuild Dennis. I would a busted two knuckles.
Haha be careful out there
That Krone stuff still bust my tookets
Haha
Maaan. Where u been at. Great to hear from ya. Gots to always have an 11/16. My brother has pair o them big ass plier.
Thankyou
Hiding under a rock haha
I guess in glad I've never had one of those cylinders go out I wouldn't have figured that out lol I have two of those tedders and it's all I can do to keep them from falling apart!! What setting do you have the gauges set at on the wheels
I have them at the highest setting.
Nice video!! I have the same model and now I will be able to repack my own cylinders. Hows your new JD running?
Awesome 👍 the Deere is doing great and I really enjoy it
I bought a set of seal compressors after doing my first seal. Actually I bought them for my neighbor so it will be easier on him when he helps me next time LOL!
Haha 👍
Would putting the new seals in a tub of hot water help to soften them up long enough to install them?
Maybe but they aren't that bad to do
Dennis, did you remember to put the reusable O ring back on.
Yes it was a plastic guide
I rebuild cylinders at my job . I live in Ohio , but we get our seal kits from a company called Dayton seals . They are alot less expensive, you might give them a try, they are not OEM seals .
Thanks for the tip joe
Always store a Tedder undercover in winter cos cold and wet will affect the seals and tynes when you go to use it nextime
It has always been stored inside
DLH Farms krone make good equipment it will last you a long time we have mounted ones in Ireland I use a 6 and 8 rotor ones
Got one here , the tube is rusted tried to hone it and repack but it cut the outter seal in 20hrs
Yep sounds like your going to have to replace it 😔
Go ahead and repack that up and down cylinder in the middel myne has leaked down sence day 1 like when u goin from field to field u have to hit cylinder to raise it back up i tryed 2 get the dealer to warnty it but they wouldnt
It’s your tractor scv allowing it to leak down. Try tuning off the valve on the end of the hose after you raise it up
Would u ever buy another massey
I like this Massey but because of my lack of a dealer no I would not
What part of Virginia are you from?
Patrick county
an apple for the teacher
Thanks 👍
Got any new snow plowing ep's.
Not yet haven't gotten any snow
How much u pay for ur live edge blade im looking a buying for plowing my dirt road plus a few other
Not sure which blade your referring too we have many
@@DLHFarms the one on the newholland t6030 tractor
@@countryboylogging4980 ok its an HLA and the blade was about 15k and the mount was 6k
That's not a bad cylinder to repack 8 mm is 5/16👍
What did your Lady name the new Joh Deere?
Turbo
@@DLHFarms Thanks, and Best wishes and prayers that all goes well with the new little when it arrives

what is the matter with the sound
I don't know what's it doing?
And you never cussed once! :)

Yeah I know
Seriously, I have the mind of a 16 yr old... 😂😂. Nice job though, I'm guessing you guys don't have mounted versions??
Haha no I've never even seen one of those in person.
I don't think I've ever seen a trailed version apart tom the U.S! I'd end up reversing out of corners all the time😂

They can be a bear
