Thanks for the video. A customer asked me to rebuild the lift and tilt cylinders on a 740 Deere loader. Since I didn't have a large enough spanner, I tried a 36" pipe wrench on the lift cylinders but they wouldn't budge. So I used an air chisel with a dulled chisel to break them loose. The problem was it also loosened the gland inside so I used a come-along to put pressure on the gland and then using the air chisel was able to get the gland nut loosened up enough to remove. After driving the gland in to get to the retaining ring I used an old small screw driver as a punch to get the ring out of the groove and then used a needle nosed vice grip to remove the ring. I really appreciate your video and that cylinder holding set up with the hydraulic cylinder to push the pipe wrench is really slick.
I just started my 40th year in hydraulic repairs and have seen some really screwed up homemade tools, this isn’t one of them. This is basic, simple and only mildly dangerous. The Pipe Wrench will be the week point, so as long as you’re not using imported Pipe Wrenches I’d say you have a pretty good setup. KUDO’s! (A face shield would be a good idea in case the handle snaps, it would prevent possible eye damage, I speak from experience)
Thank you so much for the advice and compliment. We have actually made a vise style wrench made from 1/2 metal and two 1in pieces of all thread. We use a pipe Ridge pipe wrench, but for smaller, easier jobs.
@@mayshydraulic I been working on heavy equipment all my life. I did work for a hydraulic shop that would always send me out when their guys couldn’t do the job. The owner would put his magnets over my name on my truck and tell the customers that he was send his best guy. I did on site Hydraulic repair cylinders, pumps, and all hydraulic related issues. Keep the videos coming. Good intuitive videos.
Good video. I'm doing the same job on a 740 loader lift ram but the outer collar nut won't back out. I have it turning but it just turns in the same place. Any suggestions?
One thing you could try is soak it in lubrication. If that doesn't work, you could pressurize the cylinder with the loader, then try and remove it. You could also try an air hammer with a duel chisel. And worse case scenario is cut it off to remove it.
I have a 210c. Love it, it's a great workhorse. Here because I blew the seals on my hoe bucket cylinder. Wondering how I'm going to get the 1 5/8 nut off in the field, lol.
After you can get it apart you can remove the barrel from the machine and leave the rod on the machine. You can then us the right socket and breaker bars to remove the nut.

Awesome glad that you enjoyed it.

Nice work. I do those in the field and sometimes it’s not easy.
I agree. I typically shy away from doing them in the field if at all possible.

Hydraulic pipe wrench, that’s awesome and scary as hell. 😂
Yes, it is, but I can not count the number of times it has come in handle to do a job.
@@mayshydraulic I bet. It’s coming lose or something is breaking 😂
Yes, sir, pretty much that is the mentality 😆
You can thread that nut back on the gland so you dont bend the threads over while hitting it back in the housing
Buen trabajo
Thanks kid
No problem, you're welcome.
Trying to remove a Deere 310 gland nut , it spins with a wrench but never actually comes apart just keeps spinning , any ideas that could help?
Looks like a nice simple teardown solution. Some get really fancy. Why push up vs pull down?
If im not mistaken, you should be able to get more force pushing up.
@mayshydraulic yes, because you have the larger surface area on the cylinder when pushing. Just seems harder to strap it down.
Yes it is for the most part. But a 1ton chain ratchet does wonders
could you heat this without danger to expand cylinder?

@@mayshydraulic Thankyou, I put some pressure in the cylinder and got it loose.
No problem your welcome
Thanks. Doing my dozer rams in the next day or so
No problem.
Have a JD 310c hoe. Are the cylinders basically the same as this ? Thanks
Yes to my knowledge they are.
@@mayshydraulic thanks
