Bobcat S185 Hydraulic Tilt Cylinder Repair (New Seals)

I'm showing how to replace the seals on a S185 tilt cylinder on a Bobcat skid steer.

Well articulated.I have 5 cylinders to reseal and this was the best demonstration I have found.

@@nashsummers8050 And happy to say, I re-sealed all 5 cylinders on my backhoe loader, - "no leaks". Also I used to have to lash one of my stabilizers to keep it upright when not in use because it would float down over a few hours by itself. Now it doesn't.

@@The999homes awesome glad to hear. I’ve also got another video on the lift cylinder rebuild.

Thanks for the video. And great job very clear information. I just bought a 185 and that's on the list as well as the bucket bushings.

Thanks for the video Nash. Very nicely explained. Cheers!

Great video, reassuring I was doing it correctly. Same cylinder on a T190.

Robert thanks, glad my video was able to help ya.

Bobcat service tech here . Piston nut torque is 800 foot lbs as per Bobcat service manual. Use of torque multiplier is strongly recommended.

[@Texanfirst727]

100 foot lbs is correct per the service manual. Edit: The service manual has to be WRONG. In the service manual the lift cylinder nut is stated to torque at 850 ft lbs.

[@sandyjoseph9880]

@Texanfirst727 10 year Bobcat tech 100 ft/lbs is not correct 1¹/⁸ threaded rods are 850 ft/ lbs 1 ¹/⁴ rods are 1100ft the larger cylinders on the excavators call for 1500 ft/ lbs

Mr. Sandy,
It looks like the Bobcat 175/185 service manual has a misprint. The LIFT CYLINDER repair calls for the nut to be torqued 850 foot pounds. On the TILT CYLINDER repair the repair manual says 100 ft lbs. I believe now this is a misprint and it should state like you say 1,100 ft lbs. This is a huge difference. I'm very upset with Bobcat.
Thank you for pointing this out.

@@Texanfirst727 Bobcat has some poorly written manuals

[@Texanfirst727]

@@sandyjoseph9880 Not only that, but the lift cylinder is 1½ inches and the tilt cylinder 1⅜ inches measured with a digital caliper (Mitutoyo Japanese made).
That service manual is all screwed up.

Thank you for the video brother

[@stephenmckee6439]

That's good stuff I appreciate that video.

[@tillross4078]

Thanks ,, I have a 753 the up and down and tilt wont hold position cylinders are not leaking what might cause this ? Anyone have any ideas ? THANKS AGAIN

[@nashsummers8050]

It sounds like it could be in your valve body under the cab. There are some other videos on how to replace the o-rings on TH-cam that could be helpful. Doesn’t look like it’s to hard of a job.

[@Mulching_man]

What size socket was that you was using

[@nashsummers8050]

Sorry for the late reply I say in the video it was 1 1/2".

[@VarietyofstuffYT]

Good job thanks for the advice
