old garbage truck cylinder.
4 1/2" ram
6" bore
30 some inch stroke.
guy gave it to me with new push and return piston seals.
the flange/oring seal is leaking in the bushing, so i'm trying some redneck repairs.
peeled the oring out of the flange seal, still soft and not cracked. then made up my own 1/4" o-rings.
the orginal one is sandwiched between the 1/4's to take up the chuck.
it's not the correct way, as it won't 'flange' with pressure and get tighter. but, i'll give it a shot. only got an hour into it and $4 the 7ft peice of oring i bought.. got it back together tonight , gonna hook it up and see what it does tomarrow if time works in my favor.
made by the company leach. gonna do some googling and see if i can get a seal kit for a resonable price.
oh yeah, new cylinder for my log splitter....it'll go good with this soon to be made 8way head....
