hydro gear springs

[steve k 82]

Hello, I am new here but this is a great forum!!

I inhereted my Grandfathers '69 electro 12, which worked great for years. Eventually reverse got slower and slower . I found a pdf file on this site for trouble shooting and repair of the sundstrand hydro gear. I followed the procedure and found the springs in the reverse valve trashed. The ones for the forward valve only had a couple coils broken off....... Does anyone know of a source for these springs? Thanks!

A local WH wrench had a 100 of each made several yrs ago from my NOS ones. Their exact matches in size and tensil strength.

I'll send you a PM with contact info

Could you send me a PM with contact info?

I have the same problem with a 1975 C-160.

Thanks refracman!
