B2920 Hydraulic cap issues

rburli · Apr 11, 2015

Good evening

I have a B2920 with a FEL. Pretty much since the tractor was delivered bran new the hydraulic caps will not stay on the ends. This is turn cause hydraulic oil to leak down on to the tractor and the cutting deck when the FEL is off the tractor. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this problem is very much appreciated.

Thank you
Bobby

My B2620 is now 3 years old with the FEL and the MMM. Those color coded caps seem to swell after awhile and won't stay on. So I've been taking some tin foil squares that I cut to fit over the hydraulic connectors, then push the caps on and they will stay in place. I usually don't run the MMM with the FEL mounted.

On the other hand, I use the FEL with a rear implement and then need the tin foil to hold the two color coded cap pieces together so dirt doesn't build up in the caps. It's kind of a pain, though, to fool with them.

And.....Welcome to TBN....even though I'm not an official greeter.

Cheers,
Mike

Thank you very much for the advise. I will give it a try and let you know my results. Thank you for the welcome as well.

You can get replacement caps at TSC. Every time I switch my FEL out with the plow or the blower I loose a few drops of the fluid. After a bit it almost looks like I am leaking fluid on my shop floor. I have found it is normal to loose a bit of fluid. Welcome to TBN.
