Prentice loader question

[ropensaddle]

Anyone repack the cylinders that swing boom left and right
I have figured out the tube unscrews and will have to get a huge
pipe wrench tommaro. What will I find when tube is off I have not
been able to find a manual or even know which model I have but
a logger told me he thought it prentice its a behind cab type!
I am going to try to seal it myself so any help will be appreciated.

Thats probably a prentice 110 you have with the turn cylinders laying flat, a 120 has a drive motor. not sure how to fix it.

Thanks 110 I guess two tubes one on each side ? I got the tube ,bore off and looks simple except for parts I had to use it so I cleaned everything and put a light film of lucus powersteering stopleak on the pack and wiper put it back together and it quit leaking, it amazed me. However I want to get new packing rings and wipers for it as leak may fire up again and this machine is a workhorse and very needed in my biz. Where can you order the parts for these?

If you are near Russellville I know of a good, small (1 man ) hydraulic shop. I am sure you could get parts from him.

Yea get a set of wipers and packing rings. Remember that stop leak swells the packings.

If you ever get into the valve bank. make sure you replace the seals between each bank.

Where did you buy the parts??
I have a FSBC 110 too there's no serial or tag,and I'm in the same predicament the swing cylinder is starting to leak pretty good.
Also did you need to disconnect the inside gears before you turned the cylinder out??
