Well i got that cylinder off no proble. It was much easier than i expected. I will be taking it to hyd shop in the morning to have the seal replaced. I see in your pic you have a 453. Do you happen to have the same shop manual PDF thing for that? I bought one off ebay but it was only good for a...

Thank you very much!!!

I don't have a manual and I am trying to remove the left side lift cylinder. Can some one please tell the process? Do I remove the pins inward or outward? If so is there a trick to the rest pin? Thank you guys

I finally got it. It wasn't the oil or the filter, I put the o rings in correctly. What I did was sit down and read the repair manual for 4 min and realized to adjust the pressure at all I had to remove the CAP. Lol. I didn't realize there was a cap on the adjustment screw. I took the cap off...

Are those two back up o rings supposed to be orange or black?

561811. I do not have a gauge. Could i buy something that would work at harbor fright? Would the Walmart fluid have anything to do with the symptoms? Just so you know, It is hot here.... Over 100. I have ran it for over an hour? Is that enough or not really? Thank you very much for the help

Thank you for the help. Well I got it all back together. Everything works. I am having a problem now though. When the bucket is empty the lift arms are real slow. With even a quarter bucket they won't go up at all and the bucket it self won't come up with any more then a half of a bucket of...

In true rookie fassion I ordered the "kit" to rebuild the control valve on my 453 and I dont even know what all those orings are for..... I do have one question. The kit came with a bunch of orange seal looking things. Are these the "washer o ring" the manual shows or something else because I...

I got them. The do have a split in them. It's just not tapered like a regular master link. It wasn't too bad. I got the entire unit out and disassembled. Ready to replace the seals in all three. Hopefully my local bobcat will have them in stock Tuesday. Thanks for the help guys.

I have removed almost everything this morning to get the control valve out of the machine. I am kind of stuck on the chain peices that conect the pedals to the valves. They look like master links but dont slide off like a real master link. Does anyone know an easy way to take these off without...

Thank you for the help. Is there someplace to get a break down of the parts I need to order and maybe a diagram of what I need to take apart? One more question. Do I need to remove the control valve from the machine? Thank you very much for the help.

Hi everyone I picked up a 1996 453 today. When its running it shoots a stream of hyd oil out of the cover in the (rear) middle of the control valve. The shop manual calls it the centering spring tilt spool. And also calls the part under that the "PLUG". There is no real break down on this and I...

I have just about the same thing going I think. This is my first time really working on one so we shall see how this goes. There are three of these covers with allen head bolts on the back. Mine is shooting fluid out of the cover like this that is in the middle. It also has the two allen head...
