While in the tractor shed the other day, I noticed that the right side boom cylinder on the 110 loader has got a pretty good leak started. Nice puddle there on the ground! Looked up the seal kit repair on www.JDParts.com and it's about ~$42.00. Whew...
So, my instinct is to rebuild both loader cylinders at the same time. I'm doing the work and it's a pretty cheap repair. But, the left side is dry - no problems. (If it ain't broke... don't fix it?!?) Nonetheless, my logic is that after rebuilding the right side the loader might have slightly unequal lifting capabilities and the older cylinder (~1,200-1,300hrs) will start to fail in short order.
Any thoughts or opinions?
Thanks.
