41mm round bar for hydraulic ram

[Norsk]

The ram on my dozer is leaking badly due to rust chopping the seals out. The tractor is a track marshal and I was wondering who in the UK I could approach to sell me some round bar and the right seals?

Try:

Specialist Steel Stockholder, UK - Hydraulic Supplies

Supplying hydraulic cylinder honed tube / smooth bore tube / conticast grey / SG iron bar and hard chrome plated bar to the UK.

Use 'hydraulic ram materials uk' in a google for other supplies.

Confirm it is 41mm as 1 5/8" (imperial) is very close.

I know weverything is expensive there....
but in all fairness it really doesn't cost that much to have it repaired / rebuilt properly even with a chrome rod....
Ok if u have a machine shop to get everything to size but over the years when the rod is damaged better to get it rebuilt.....
it will last another 50 years....

Have used interfluid before to custom build a hydraulic ram.

But they will probably want to sell you a complete new set of rams. Getting the originals re hard chromed and ground might be a cost effective contender?

would it need to be sent for re-chroming?

i dont know a great deal about hydraulic rams but watching cutting edge in australia he send a lot out to be chromed after he has worked on it
