Was digging a rock out of our pasture (never ending) using a Woods 9000 backhoe when I heard a big swoosh and I knew what it was before I even looked down /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Left stabilizer had gone down and it was wet with hydraulic fluid. To see how bad it was, I gave the stabilizer a little down pressure and saw that it was coming out the top end of the cylinder around the piston rod and out the "T" of at the bottom of the cylinder body. Hoses and fittings are fine.
Anyone ever had a similiar repair done? Was wondering what to expect for cost of repair (no longer under warranty). Backhoe is only 2 years old, but it's been worked hard.
Thanks,
Bill
