Default Re: Kioti backhoe 2376 leaks-defective design

The oring and the valve were replaced previously. A four hose kit was installed and the entire valve body assembly was replaced $$$$$$$ as well as having the overall pressure reduced. I stopped by last weekend and they found some more work todo. The previous owner apparently only greased the backhoe prior to selling it to me. Two bushings are being replaced $$$$$.

Upper Valley has been upfront with me. I just don't know what to believe. With the hose kit I think is like a retro fit, Kioti must have had a reason to have the kit so would Orings work. The spooling valve assembly is much more expensive than the $297 assembly I found on Ebay.

what do you think??
