Greetings All - I have a JD 8A backhoe that I run off of my JD 1070 compact tractor. The backhoe works well but has developed a leak in one of two cylinders under the footrests that control the sideways swiveling of the unit. The leak appears to be coming from an overflow/pressure relief (?) valve that is on the back end (see yellow circle... the other photo is the one that is actually leaking into a plastic bag attached to the cylinder). I am trying to troubleshoot this but am not even sure if I have identified the overflow (?) valve correctly. Does anyone out there know what this is and why it might be leaking? Thanks for any advice.
