Where to get cylinder rebuild kit for old case bac

Now>Link the fun part. On my JD310a boom cylinder I had to dig a DEEP hole to put the boom in after I removed the bucket. This is to extend the cyclinder so you can remove the rod. To get the cap off I had to weld some small pieces of steel to the cap to make it wider so my 36" pipe wrench had something to bite on. Then while my partner pushed on the wrench I heated up the cylinder at the point where the nut threads are with a rosebud torch until it started to turn. CAUTION too much heat will start a hyd fire and you don"t want to go there! If it doesn"t get loose in a minute then cool everything off and try again. Make sure you loosen the locking set screw if you have one and make sure there is no pressure on the cyclinder ie rock the control back and forth. And one more thing make sure the rod is not quite all the way out so it is not pressing on the cap. You may need to use the hyd to push the rod out after you remove the cap. The nut that holds the piston on is very large and very tight. Mine needed a 2 3/16" socket with a 1" breaker bar and a 6" pipe on the breaker bar to loosen and tighen it. All in all not a bad job once you get the cap off...
