[QUOTE="jf850, post: 6864911, member: 7558"] I have a 1971 MF 50 digger loader for 23 years. I think the 50 came out around 69 and was superceded by the 50B in 72 ish. Is this the same ram as the one in my photo ? About 2 years ago the seal in one tilt ram failed . Not leaking outward, but sinking constantly. I took it our local digger spares/hyd hose&seals place . He was unable to open it , as it was rusted solid after the thick end of 50 years. He told me to take it to a local engineer, who cut the end off it , machined a different groove in the inner part so as he could fit a newer type improved seal. To open my ram , you open the shallow nut on the outside , this then allows you to drive in the inward piece pictured in your original post in an inch. In my case it wouldn't move due to being seized. When driven in an.inch , there will be a sort of wire circlip, that when removed allows you to bring out that inward piece. If it is seized , you have 2 options Same as I got done , which worked out OK. Or , buy a SH ram , which may be perfect, or worse than.your own ram [ATTACH type="full" alt="20200407_134842.jpg"]868960[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20200407_134849.jpg"]868961[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20200407_134856.jpg"]868962[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
