[QUOTE="wateka, post: 127951, member: 21519"] See pic - I’m still reassembling my new-to-me 853. In changing the lift cylinder seals I looked at the head (6539236) and saw that the outer flange that retains the wiper seal is damaged. New ones are $180. Anyone repaired this before? Since the wiper seal has little pressure behind it I’m thinking of cleaning up the damaged area, putting the new wiper seal in, and then molding some Devcon aluminum putty in the damaged area. I haven’t read the Devcon instructions yet, but I’m sure, like epoxy, it needs to be clean and have something to adhere to. [ATTACH type="full"]4273[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
