MF GC2300 w/ Nimco Controller Leak

[Bedrock2300]

Sure am glad I took pictures before I tore into this Took the lever off, then the screw balls, took the cover plate off and found the leak! Went to my local MF Dealer (Boone Tractor here in Bedford Va) showed the 徹 rings I needed. He looked it up on the computer believe it or not the 徹 ring is $14.98. He tried to match it to one he had it stock, but did not have one. It was not a total wasted trip I did get the schematic for the Nimco Controller. Plus, I have 296 hrs so I thought I might as well get all the stuff to do the 300 hour maintenance.

Went to Tractor Supply and found a variety pack of 徹 Rings that looked close. It worked. $5.99 now I have 72 different 徹 Rings.

No FEL Leaks, new engine oil w/ filter, new transmission oil w/ filter, new fuel filter, new air filter, changed the fluid for the FWD.

I took a couple of pictures will post them when I get a chance to down load them.
What a day!

Thanks for all the help
Dan

Glad you got it done and there's no leaks.If you have to do it again it'll be alot easier.Price of the o-rings hum wonder whats so special about the individual bagged ones.Hard to justify buying one when a bunch are soooo much cheaper and do the same job.Larry

Going to pull mine apart in a few days. Wish you had posted pictures. I picked up a variety pack of O Rings to see what will fit.

I know this is from old post, but same problems exist today...I am looking for a solution for the leak....I rebuilt the bucket tilt inside the detent, as recommended and replaced the "O" ring at the rear of the cylinder as described (Massey wanted ALMOST $20) found at tractor supply...8 for $2.89! Same specs!

However leak still occurs (not as bad) where shown below! (I am not sure I did photo correct)

Now I need to find what needs to be fixed there...It should not be rocket science but It is really a pain. Massey dealer just says to put a ziplock bag over controller and live with the leak!

Where can I find the pictures you took and posted? Should be a simple job, but instructions would be good. Sure not going to get them from my dealer. He won't even call back unless you want to buy a new tractor. Very poor support.

Common problem with GC2300, Nimco control and others. Many Massey dealers are worthless and if a part is needed, very expensive. I did same with some O rings...but am still nervous about trading into controller. I wish there were more diagrams and instructions on line to help us replace all of the vulnerable O rings, etc. My right foot leather boot is now "waterproof". I also have other issues with joystick control valves...have yet to solve. I do not know how to post photos here! Ball slips out of joystick...a real pain in the Butt!
