I reached out to a local guy I know that does pressure washing and has a rig but I'm guessing my his lack of response that he's not interested. I wouldn't be either. :laughing: Only rental yard that has one is about 45 minutes away and want something like $350/day....that'll just turn in to a full day project, which I really don't have time for at the moment, but I may got that route if I can't find anything else. It'd give me a good reason to line up the rest of my junk and douche it all in a one greasy day.

Sunbelt will order parts for you if there is one near you. Might be a $25 oring but it will be the correct one.

Will they? I've probably done a couple million $$ with them through work over the last decade but never even thought about them being a parts source. I guess it was technically one of their machines so they should support it. :lmao:

Yeah just head over there with the serial number and talk to them they should be able to look it up and get it ordered. At least they will for me at my local sunbelt. Pretty much any brand of machines they have in the lot they can order parts for.

In a similar vein my localish Admar rental place got in a Gehl cylinder reseal kit for me (to go on my Ford branded round baler that was made by Gehl) for a better price than what I could find online.
Really need to figure out where I put it and reseal the cylinders one of these days.

Sounds like a job for purple power and a disposable wet vac from home depot. Or diesel fuel instead of purple power.

Neat. Show me where I can easily order a single OEM o-ring for this without jumping through hoops just to find the part number? Or a dealer that's going to want to order and ship a single o-ring to me for anything resembling a reasonable price? Because the closest dealer to me is 3-4 hours away.

Hey, here’s a thought…

Find all the leaks, tear things apart. Make a list and order all the parts on one order! It’s like, how those mekanicks do it.

Dealers have parts guys. They can look up parts for you. They’ll even do things like e-mail you pictures out of the parts book. You can probably find a parts book on eBay for the machine. Have you looked? Service manual isn’t likely hard to find either.

We've done well getting random o-rings through the local bearing shops

Good for you. Guess you get lucky a lot.
There are a lot of different o-rings out there. Different materials, different durometer, exact sizes. A lot of times you can put the wrong thing in and it will work for a while. Sometimes a cheap o ring is all something needs. But guaranteed, if you order or buy the one meant for the job from OEM it is going to be the correct one. No guessing.

You look that up online? Because that seems more like a weekly price. I can rent a skid steer for a day for less than that.

Your blind faith in OEMs getting shit right is pretty funny.

The fact that you think OEMs are above superseding the "right" O-ring with the "wrong but probably works fine for a long time" one in order to reduce the number of distinct parts they have to stock is downright hilarious though.

Did you check with a Ford dealer?
Online equipment parts are outrageous. Most often more than through a dealer, even if it is through a dealer. In other words, you could call the same dealer and order the parts for less. Equipment parts aren’t automotive parts. They would rather no one worked on their own stuff. Since few aftermarket parts exist, they try to push you to your local dealer. If you choose to buy online, they profit.

In automotive parts it isn’t necessarily true.
In equipment parts it is.
Guess you’d have to be in the businesses to know.

The fuck it is. Maybe in snow plows, but every piece of equipment I've ordered has had superseded parts or replaced parts or sent the wrong parts.
 
OP should measure the groove and bore and order an O-ring based on material and dimension just to stick it to all the idiots who need someone to hand hold them. :flipoff2:

You mean like this?
bgaidan said:
I have an order going in to mcmaster today so I'm tempted to order the closest one I can find and see how long it holds.

OD is right around 1.635" and the ID +/- 1.407 and arund .08 thick.

dash 127 is 1.625, 1.4375 and .103
dash 029 is 1.625, 1.5 and .0625
dash 220 is 1.625, 1.375 and .125

127 looks like the best bet.

Well, I was an independent repair shop owner for fifteen years, and worked in the industry for at least 25. I’ve order far over a million dollars worth of part in those years. OEM when dealing with equipment is the best bet to get the right parts.

There are exceptions. Air conditioning is one. Sometimes hydraulic, if the parts are made by companies like Eaton, Vickers, Parker, ect. There are also a lot of aftermarket engine parts, but they are typically put together with the parts that the OEM used. Victor gaskets, Fel Pro, Federal Mogul, Cleavite, ect. People who have been making engine parts for a long time. But in the case of parts made by OEM, or supplied to OEM in a specific application, the dealer is a good bet. Especially if you’re not someone familiar with machines.

Hard to do when you don’t have a good example to measure off of. Old tore up, flattened o-rings are hard to measure.

We have had both good and bad parts from both dealer's and the aftermarket. While I agree that hitting up the parts guy (depending on the parts guy) is normally the best bet. It sure as hell isnt 100% always good shit, let alone the right shit.
 
Bacho said:
You tried turning them calipers to metric and see if you get a better match?
Click to expand...

Yeah....still doesn't jive with anything. And these are British and everything seems to be standard thread on it so I wouldn't expect the o-rings to be metric.

I do have one of these fancy gadgets and it jives with the -220 I came up with measuring by hand. I'm just not confident it's accurate on square profile rings. Biggest things I see is that I'm not finding anything standard with the same thickness....but it's also used so going thicker and expecting crush/stretch is probably the way to go.

I'll bring the old one with me when I go to get the new hose made and see what they can pull out of their collection.

Just because the dipshit at the parts counter ordered the wrong stuff doesn’t mean that every parts guy is an idiot, or that the OEM correct part doesn’t exist. Almost every dealer has at least one guy working at the counter you don’t want to deal with. Nothing wrong with asking for a different parts guy, or calling different dealers.
I dealt with dealers farther away just to get better service.

I have no clue how many dollars I’ve spent buying parts. 25 years is a long time. Let us know when you’re old enough to say you’ve done something for 25 years and it not include your life before you were 20. Then you can run your mouth.
