Hydraulic Top Link fittings won’t stop leaking?

[MacFacts]

Hello, I have a New Holland Workmaster 25 with a hydraulic top link. The top link fittings started leaking and I can’t seem to tighten them enough to stop it. I tried to tighten the fittings on the cylinder and they still leak. I have taken them apart and don’t, see any type of compression rings or o rings? Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Cylinder packing is shot. Have it professionally rebuilt.

Unscrew the right side in the picture then slide the nut back. Then take a picture so people can what kind of fitting it is. I can think of 3 just off the top of my head.

What? Do you just throw stuff away for the post count?


To the OP, those are compression fittings. If it still leaks after you tried to tighten the nuts, there is most likely something wrong with the fitting or the ferrule that gets crimped on the end of the tubing.

I suggest disassembly of leaking fittings then coat threads with thread sealer & reassemble.

This how those fittings look and work:

Thank you, I’ll do that.

You need a new ferrule, you might have to cut the old one off. Just go easy and not miss up the tube. If the tube is smashed you well have to put on a new tube.
