CK2610 FEL CYLINDER LEAK

[Wilco]

Dealer came out and replaced this immediately so I'm not complaining just figured I show it here. I could smell the fluid the first time using the tractor but it took me a little while to find where it was coming from. Not as noticeable with the naked eye but it looks really bad with a camera close-up. What do you guys think?

Bad forging from the factory I'd say. Lathe work didn't take it all out when turning down to tolerance. I'm surprised this made it out of the hydraulic cylinder factory and sent on to Kioti. Glad it was replaced.

Did they replace the entire assembly or just the rod? the rod seals will surly be compromised having gone over that pitted spot.

Yup. That one slipped past QC

Dealer pulled the assembly off another tractor he had on the lot. Came to my place and swapped it out on a Friday night.

How far is your dealer?
Pretty nice of them to come over and do the R&R.
Glad it worked out so well for yah. Nothing like have a project in progress and then having to wait for repairs.

Wow that was definitely a very poor quality cylinder.
Good detail in the image lots of pitting all around the big one!
Good dealer service took care of yah...nice to hear those kind of stories.
