C-85 689 #1 Posted July 23 I have a '81 C145A with what I believe is a OMCO valve and it leaks between its sections. I don't know enough about OMCO and would like to find a seal kit for it. I see that this topic has been asked in the past, but I didn't see any history about OMCO, does anyone know if they are still in business or who may have bought them out? I could rebuild this if I could get the seals so I'd appreciate any help C-85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,867 #2 Posted July 24 This is for a newer machine but the instructions are there for older ones too. Here's a link to a post done by @gwest_ca If you click on that then follow download info you'll find it. Also be sure to scroll down a bit. More info there. There's a good chance Lowell at Wheelhorsepartsandmore has the parts you need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-85 689 #4 Posted July 30 Does anyone know if 'Wheel Horse Parts and More' is still operating? I've tried contacting them several times and no luck! I need a seal kit for my '81 C145A and was hoping to get one from them, but I may need to try someone else! Any other suggestions would be great!

oliver2-44 9,798 #5 Posted July 30 Wheel Horse Parts and More is definitely still operating. Another alternative, a few years ago I took mu OMCO valve to a local industrial hydraulic shop. They had the O-rings and put it back together for me. Sorry I didn't get the O-ring sizes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-85 They're busy as all get out with the summer show season. I can take a screenshot of this and send Lowell a text. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-85 689 #7 Posted July 31 Hi Eric, Thanks for helping out! He's since called me and I have ordered one of these kits. Like many websites that have a 'contact us' feature they don't monitor that or it doesn't work, so I wasted a week waiting to hear back. I wish organizations that have these contact us buttons would either watch them or they should disable them if they aren't keep track of them. I had also texted direct and then called two of their phone numbers and still didn't hear back until today. C-85 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have enough parts round here and occasionally ask this site that I rarely need A to Z Tractor. I do still CALL him. when I need something. Same with other places. A live interaction is often the only way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
