A couple Questions on Cub with Danco Loaders
 

I posted this in the attachments page but thought I'd ask here as well.I have a 125 Cub with a Danco FEL I'm bl;asting and repainting the loader and need to know the correct color and where I can buy new decals for it I tried a search and don't find the answers I need.I did buy new 125 decal set from one of our sponsors and they can't tell me where to get the loader decals either!
This Cub was my father in laws from a ong time back and we just got it back in the family pics will follow as soon as we figure out the new camera and how to post them.

Leon,
I found a link from 07 on the Farmall site from klejeune. His post was about redoing a Cub with a Danco loader. Now I know that Keith is a member on OCC and his message included the line "The new decals are in the mail, probably get them tomorrow. Can't wait." I'd try to (pm) him on this site and see what he can help you with. MikeC

Hi Mike thank you! now I just need to find a supplier of new seal kits for the cylinders or replacement cylinders I have been checking several sources for "Hydraulics"but haven't found cylinders that would fit correctly
Leon

I think a lot of people use maple hunter for there decals. I think they also do custom decals?

Let me know if you find a source for the decals I'll be needing some for my Danco loader. Shoot or anything else let me know post, pm or email.

Has anybody found a place to get the seal kits to rebuild the Danco Loader Cylinders?

:WWP: of your Danco loader! I've got one on my 122 and love it!

Get Harbor Freight's O-ring assortment. For the $10 or so it cost I have fixed a lot of cylinders and control valves.

I'm in the process of measuring and taking photos of all the loader frame and bucket off the tractor.I plan to share all the measurements with the group once I have them done.The loader arms and frame have been sandblasted and painted and I have had new decals made for it, I'm just buttoning up the K301 on my engine stand.We had the cylinders rebuilt by a local machine shop that cost us 200$-50$ per cylinder including parts.I been real busy getting machines stripped so I can rebuild them over the winter.We got a new camera so I hope to post pictures as I go.I can get decal "kits" where I had mine made 20$ a set plus shipping the Danco Loader decal is gray and black not the metallic silver background of the original.

Sending you a PM Leon.

Good tip Matt! Do they use a seal of any kind or just o-rings? I've got to rebuild my control valve it's starting to drip any tips?

Thanks!

The cylinders on my loader (Kwik-Way) had a mix of crude lip seals and O-rings, and the rebuild kits I got were missing parts and had the wrong size O-rings for a few of them, so I wound up re-using the lip seals and replacing just the O-rings. It didn't completely eliminate the leaks on mine, as the rods are kind of screwed up on several of my cylinders, but now it's an occasional drip instead of a squirt every time the cylinder is actuated. Every valve I have disassembled has contained only O-rings. As for tips, clean the outside before disassembly, and clean and re-lube all of the internals before reassembly. The O-rings get pretty bad in the control valves. I have never taken one apart that didn't need all of the O-rings replaced.

Sorry guys, I haven't been around the Cub forums much since about January of this year.

I got my Danco decals from Scott Urschel. The only way I know to contact him is by email: cubconnection@aol.com I believe is the address.

Good luck, I'm always looking forward to seeing rebuilt Danco loaders.

Keith
