Branson 3510 Hydraulic site glass

[HeartBeetsFarm]

Hey Folks.
I have a leaky hydraulic site glass. In my parts catalog has it listed as TCA9130000A4 , but I can't find that part on any site (I've seen other part numbers, but don't have a way to cross-reference it).
Anyone know a source for this part, or a similar part, and could talk me through replacing it?
Any help would be great!

You really do not need to replace it unless the glass is cracked. Put the tractor on an incline so the oil moves to the front, gently pry out the glass and O ring with a small screwdriver, clean the seat to remove all, oil and then put a small bead of silicone caulk at the very back on the seat for the glass frame. Insert the glass, frame and o-ring. Let it cure for about 24 hours and you should be good to go. I repaired mine on a century 2535 a number of years ago. Willie Jones

Willie is correct, he shared this repair with me last year and it worked great.
Thanks again Willie!

I am dealing with the same problem on my Branson 2910 so thanks for the advice!

I was ordering some parts through a dealer using the part numbers from my manual. Its a 2005 Branson. Anyway the number I gave to the dealer had been referenced over a few times, so said the dealer. The number he used was different but the part that came was correct. BTW, don't run a log through you grill as they are very pricey, just sayin'
