Freightrain Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Ok mine has worked okay for years but it really leaks mid stroke. I pulled it apart and the rubber piston seal is near rock hard. Google turned nothing up. Anyone know where I might get a new seal? It is a Kysor D-11999. I will add pics later.

Is the seal an O ring style or a Square ring style or a lip seal?

Mike Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Easy solution Larry. I took mine to an Industrial Rubber & Gasket Company and bought several. They had the exact size. And you have to use that special oil to keep them from getting hard too soon. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48076-shutter-cylinder-rebuild/#findComment-355718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 What is the special oil ? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48076-shutter-cylinder-rebuild/#findComment-355722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) My air compressor has a special setup that pumps some motor oil through the air system to keep everything lubed up....... Or maybe it's just good and worn in?

Freightrain Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 I know the bore is a common size, like 1 3/4"? I know it shouldn't be too hard to find, but..... My truck used to puke oil when the compressor needed rebuilt. Everything(like the wiper motor and this) was FULL of sludge. I cleaned it up and it does work. Just hisses a lot til it gets fully closed. I'm sure this is another reason why my truck loses air so quickly after shutdown. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Mike Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Time to go electric Larry, and plug the old system. It was ok in it's day but we been spoiled to the new electric gadgets etc. No more crap in the air systems and no cleanups. Just get an R Model and be satisfied. The ole B needs a friend anyway plus it would look really good in your driveway sitting along side of the B Model. You could call them, Pop and Junior.

Freightrain Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nope, I'll fix the air solenoid. I'm crafty enough to make it work better. It works, but it bleeds a lot of air. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

It works, but it bleeds a lot of air. Just think........You'll never have to stick your body out the window while driving to wipe off the rain, with an electric unit. Also while going up hills or mountains the wipers won't slow down any. Going down hills are another interesting situation. They almost fly off the windshield. Just trying to help you out here, keep you from working so hard during Christmas Holidays..

Freightrain Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Mike, this is for the radiator shutters, not the wipers. My wipers work fine. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
