Re: Case 680E
The seals arrived yesterday so I installed them all. The interesting one this time was the ptfe piston middle band that goes on top of the square rubber profile ring called the energizer. It's the yellow one you see in the image below. It's very stiff so it needs to be warmed up and stretched a tiny bit to make it to the middle of the piston. I used hot water and carefully stretched it just enough to get it on the piston. But, you also need to compress it back or else the piston won't go into the barrel. I first put a layer of electrical insulation tape and left it over night compressed by the piston ring installation tool.
Then the rod went back in its place to get the piston retaining bolt torqued.
Then in the barrel and back on the tractor.

No leak.
I think this concludes taking care of all the major problems and a few minor ones, with this tractor. Thank you all for coming along for the ride, for your help and comments.

Re: Case 680E
That's brave, putting that out for the universe to hear... I can just imagine the universe looking around... " Oh yea?... Sombody hold my beer... We'll see about this guy that thinks he's done..."
Congrats though!

Re: Case 680E
@Eugen Well accomplished. Echoing @Toolslinger , Imany of my customers TMB machines. (Too Many Birthdays) When ask, "Isit fixed?" My response is "Temporarily, I will see you again soon."

Re: Case 680E
Haha, I'm already doubting everything I did! Thanks guys! You gotta keep me on my toes. Good.
Fine, I just remembered the alternator rebuild kit that's waiting for me. Although I did fix the old alternator and it works, couldn't help myself getting the rebuild kit.

Re: Case 680E
@MattA , the main reason I got the backhoe was to dig the foundation for the addition we planned to build. A number of things happened that made us change plans and we're no longer going to build the addition. I think the backhoe will go on the marketplace next spring so I can use it for some small stuff here, maybe pull some stumps.

Re: Case 680E
Your a smart cookie Eugen. Congratulations on all the work you’ve done to it.
Hehe. Phone up the fella you bought from and tell him it’s all fixed. And for sale.

Eugen, if you keep the hoe long enough I’m sure you’ll come up with projects for it. Harry
