Description
If you’ve noticed hydraulic fluid seeping around a piston or your hydraulics just aren’t building the pressure they used to, this seal could be the fix you need. Worn seals allow internal bypassing – fluid takes the easy path around worn seals instead of building pressure where you need it, and that translates to weak loader performance or three-point hitch that won’t lift like it should. This replacement piston seal restores proper sealing to get your hydraulics working right again.
What You’re Getting
- Quality seal designed to handle hydraulic system pressures and temperature extremes
- Direct replacement part that fits like the original without modifications
- Modern seal materials resist the deterioration that plagued original equipment, meaning less frequent rebuilds
- Proper dimensions ensure a snug fit that stops internal leakage
Built for Real Farm Work
The Fordson Major earned its reputation as a reliable workhorse, but anyone who’s operated one without power steering knows the physical demands. These 45-50 HP tractors from the 1950s and 60s are still common on smaller farms, handling everything from hay work to cultivation. Whether you’re running a loader, operating three-point implements, or using the power steering system, this seal helps maintain the hydraulic pressure these systems depend on.
Made to Last
Farm hydraulics take a beating from pressure spikes, temperature swings, and contaminated fluid. Modern seal materials resist the deterioration that plagued original equipment, so you can expect reliable service for years. The seal is built to maintain its flexibility and sealing properties even under the demanding conditions these vintage tractors face.
Good to Know
Hydraulic work requires absolute cleanliness – any contamination ruins new seals immediately. Clean all surfaces thoroughly before installation and use assembly lube on the seal during installation. While you’re in there, it’s worth checking other seals and considering a fluid change if it’s been a while. Clean hydraulic fluid extends seal life dramatically.
