Afternoon everyone,
I need some help with a hydraulic issue. I have no experience working with hydraulics so I may need to take the tractor to a shop down the road. I wanted to ask for some advise before I did that though. I prefer to have an idea as to what work needs to be done before I take it in.
So for the last few weeks I have noticed that there was a little leak coming from the front end of the tractor. Not much and not constant. Took a bit to actually find it. It has now started to get worse though and is now leaking every time I use the tractor. It is time to fix it.
The leak is the right side of the steering cylinder. There is an obvious bulge of a seal on two sides of the rod. That is where the leak is coming from. A couple of days ago it even sprayed a bit. Most of the time the leak has been a gentle ooze as I turn the tractor. No leak when not turning. I'll try to post a couple pictures of the cylinder and bulge.
I really would like to here what people think needs to be done and how I should do it. Any advise would be welcome.
