Their pricing is really good for the seals to fit my case 580C. Just wondering if anyone else has used them. How's the quality?
Got some from them, reliable aftermarket and some from cross creek. All about the same.
Did you notice where they were made? I did find US made seals by Bulldog.
I have used them with good results. I don't believe I have ever replaced a seal that was out because it was a faulty seal. It is normally a bad rod, contamination, 50 years of rust, or some other reason that takes them out.
I have for sure. Every cylinder on the machine the U-cup seal went bad. The ones in the pics are OEM New Holland. The replacements for the OEM were Hercules that I purchased from CEA_Services. Made in the USA too.
This doesn't give me much confidence. Especially since I would have expected USA made seals would be better. Not sure what brand All States sells. Sounds like whatever I buy, it may just be a crap shoot. Those seals look like dry rot. Maybe old stock?
Maybe I said it wrong in my post. Those are the original New Holland seals, in the pic, that I replaced with the Hercules seals (made in the USA). I have had no further problem with the new seals. I am not sure where the New Holland seals were made.
That doesn't sound as bad. Anyone know where the ASAP seals are made?
I'm betting that's what my seals look like. Sitting in the desert for 30+ years. Cylinders are nice and clean, but seals were weeping. Ran the backhoe for a few hours and a swing seal started dumping fluid. Had to load some stuff, so I added fluid and ran the loader. Same thing happened, parked it and fluid just poured out of the seal area of the lift cylinder. Cost me a couple hundred in new hydraulic fluid in less than 20 minutes, but I did get the job done.
I wonder if your machine didn't have some oil contamination or something since you had problems with ALL your cylinders. I have made it so far by just rebuilding the two stabilizers, steering, and the crowd on mine and it is older than yours. My steering cylinder was shot when I got it but wasn't leaking so I put up with the slow steering until it leaked. I expect all mine were probably rebuilt at some point before I got it though.
