    Looking for part numbers for cylinder packing kits on a Galion 503A grader - either OEM or aftermarket. Anyone know where I can find and order these online?

    Have you checked with Baum Iron?

    I've got a parts manual for the Galion 503A, but it only shows individual components rather than complete packing kits, and I'm having trouble sourcing any of those pieces online. Baum Hydraulics came up in an earlier reply, but I can't access their site—it's showing as insecure. Does anyone know where else I might track down a packing kit for these cylinders?

    Have you looked at Hercules or Bulldog for those seals?

    I've found that Galion and Dresser cylinder packing kits don't show up much in aftermarket catalogs. The last time I needed them, I brought the cylinders to a parts shop and had them measured out. They ended up ordering from Baum once they had the measurements. After I got those part numbers, I was able to source them online, but it's tough to cross-reference from the Galion manual to aftermarket equivalents.

    A VPN or different browser might help if you're having trouble accessing it. Baum should carry a complete kit for you. It's been a while since I checked my Red Book, but if I remember right, they list complete kits organized by machine type.

    I've had good luck with my sales rep at Bulldog Hydraulics. Since Komatsu owns Galion now, I grabbed my last seals from a Komatsu dealer, though these days I'm ordering most of my seals through Bulldog instead.
