automatic hydro release valves
 

my 1650 has automatic release valves. after you push the tractor or drive it. the one leaks oil out really bad and the other leaks just a little bit. i put 2 old valves in and it dont leak anymore. so is there something to go bad on the auto valves? whats causing them to leak?

There is an internal "O" ring that goes bad after the years.

I'm sure this has been asked before but, can they be rebuilt by us or is there something special you need. I know that LJ Fluid is the place to get new ones.

Valve rebuild machinist/service
 

I had a valve rebuilt about 6 months ago, seats/seals redone by a guy in Ohio, for around $50. He split it apart, cleaned/machined/replacing seals and seats then I think he spots or resistance welds them back together? Very satisfied with results/$. He had this service on ebay, but haven't seen it, as of late? I could contact him and ask if he still does this service? If interested?

Good luck,
Dick

He fixed mine as well, works great, ship to him, he will rebuild them and ship back $74.95 for the pair

I don't know why people have them rebuilt when you can get new ones for $55 each. From the tech section of the site.

I know of people that have repaired them. The question I have and it never has been answered.

When these people weld the cap back on, how do they protect the heat from compromising the "O" they just replaced..???:HeadScratch:

After all, Sundstrand did NOT weld the cap on when they manufactured it, they crimped it on.

I am with Duke, for the money, one might as well get a new one then one does not have to worry if that "O" was compromised.

From what I saw, he tigs them and keeps them wrapped in a wet rag.
That will work as he is using a small tack weld.
L.J. fluid power has a price increase since the '09 posting.

We'll have to contact them and get curent pricing and make the change to the post.:beer2: Thanks for the heads up!
