6500 4WD rear hyd. leaking down

[awill99]

35 hours and even with a light weight rear attachment like post hole diggers without auger (maybe 220 lbs) it will drop about 1 ft per 2 hours. FEL is fine. Can find no leaks and fluid is good. Any thoughts?

Maybe an internal seal?

I had a similar problem. It eventually got to the point where, with an attachment on back, the draft arms would fall when I used the loader. It turned out that one of the rings (hard plastic) on the draft arms cylinder was flattened (had rolled out of groove). As soon as hydraulic pressure was diverted to the loader (and away from the draft arm) fluid would leak between the cylinder and the cylinder wall.

Hey Arnold! I'll bring up your problem at work tomorrow, and see if we can figure anything out. May have to get hands on it. I still have your cell #, I'll give you a call tomorrow. By the way, how you been?
