223-5944 Hydraulic Cylinder Seal Kit for CAT 420D 430D 430E Backhoe Loaders
223-5944 Hydraulic Cylinder Seal Kit Overview
223-5944 is an aftermarket hydraulic cylinder seal kit for Caterpillar 420D, 430D and 430E backhoe loaders. Professional cross-reference directories identify this part number with the bucket and stick cylinder applications used on these loader-backhoes. It is not a main hydraulic pump seal kit and is not intended for the CAT 336D excavator.
The bucket and stick cylinders work under repeated shock loads close to dirt and debris. A correctly matched reseal kit helps address oil leakage, cylinder drift and contamination entering through worn wipers. DJF Seals supplies this replacement kit to distributors, repair workshops and construction machinery parts businesses. Minimum order quantity is 5 kits per part number.
