Kubota B26 leaking hydraulic tank

[RichV]

Hi, (dfkrug) On a side note. Was doing search on B21 Hydraulic leak. Came across these posts. I have hydraulic fluid leaking from rear
under my B21 flat plate under hydraulic tank. leaking around bolts and bottom edge of plate. Is this flat plate under tank an
integral part of tank which holds the fluid in? With a gasket maybe? Or does this plate just hold up a seperate tank enclosed
inside. Would appreciate your knowledge on this and any info. If plate was part of tank might try to tighten bolts first to stop leak.
Thanks

As I recall, the B21's hyd tank has a bottom plate that is sealed (prob with sealant) to form the tank. It could be a paper gasket, but if I opened mine up, I would have used sealant instead.

BTW, I am now working on a B20 that has a massive hyd leak. This old machine uses part of the mainframe as an hyd reservoir.
