OK, this may not be necessarily the correct place for this question, but
someone might be able to supply me with some answers.
Have a International 3514 loader tractor (1964 vintage) with a backhoe
(model is 3141 or 3121 we think) with a bad bucket cylinder. It was
leaking, unscrewed the cap around the rod and had pieces of steel fall into
my hands. The rod seals are held by a steel insert that has a flange around
the outside, which the big gland nut holds in place. About 2/3 of this
flange is broken. Now I need either to replace this packing assembly, or
the whole cylinder.
Any ideas on replacing an obsolete cylinder???
Basic dimensions: Looks to be about a 4" diameter piston, connected by 1
1/2" diameter pins on both ends, 44 1/2" pin/pin when minimum travel, 71
1/2" extended, 2500psi (we think) upper end has to fit within a 5" wide
structure. And, being the bucket cylinder, needs a reasonably good wiper as
this cylinder rod does get dirty and wet in use. Pictures and better
dimensions available if someone needs them.
I know that they can be custom made, but.....
Thank you for any assistance.
