Before you call

Repair and rebuilds: the short version

Fixing or rebuilding worn parts: hydraulic cylinders, shafts, bores and equipment.

When you need it

  • A leaking or bent hydraulic cylinder
  • A worn shaft, bushing or bore
  • A broken part you can't buy anymore
  • Farm, truck or plant equipment that's down

What to send the shop

  • Photos of the part, whole and up close
  • Cylinders: bore, rod, stroke and pin to pin length
  • Make, model, serial number and year
  • What failed, and how
  • The part itself, if you can bring it

Typical lead time

Walk in welding repairs typically take up to 2 weeks at one Kitchener shop.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Do you rebuild in house, or send it out?

  2. Q2

    Are seals in stock for my cylinder?

  3. Q3

    Will you repair the rod, or replace it?

Questions

Repair and rebuilds FAQ

How long does a walk in welding repair take?

Brent's Welding says walk in repairs are typically completed within 2 weeks. That is a welding repair estimate. Ask separately about a hydraulic cylinder rebuild.

What cylinder details should I send?

Send bore, rod, stroke and pin to pin length, plus the make, model and serial number. Describe the leak, damage or loss of movement.

Can I request repair at the machine?

Say whether the equipment can move and give the site address and access details. Ask whether the repair can be done on site.

Good to know

  • Ask about inspection and parts availability before removing the cylinder.
  • No Kitchener shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
