I have the following:
a Wagner model IH SAW3 Serial Number 220 on a my Super A.
Cylinder is removed and gland nut and packing removed. Rod WILL not come out.
I found this comment on Yesterdays Tractor (10 year old thread)
Your reasoning is correct except this cylinder uses the rod as the piston. It has a cast iron collar on the end of the rod that prevents it from coming out all the way. Real pain in the bottom to take apart. Uses a screw in gland and a large snap ring to prevent the rod from coming out. Terry
Any comments on getting at this "Snap Ring?", There appears to be a packing just below the gland nut that's still in Cylinder.
My question is this.
Has anyone rebuilt one of these? How do I get the Rod out? I'm afraid to pick out the packing to see whats behind it.
It lifted fine but just would leak slightly. The bucket would slowly reach the ground after a day or two. Maybe just replacing the top packing and oring in Gland nut will be enough. They are pretty crappy.
I will have to find some place to get parts from as I know of no hydraulic shop near me.
Appreciate any comments anyone could give me. I thought this would be an easy re-pack. NOT!!
Thanks
Andy
