BX1500 LA181 Hydraulic Cylinder Leak

[Robert_Parent]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the seals on the LA181 FEL hydraulic arm cylinder can be rebuilt or must the cylinder be replaced? The rod seal is leaking a small amount and like most oil leaks quickly creates a huge mess.

Thanks,
Robert

Should be repairable. I'd take it to a local hydraulic shop. They can generally rebuild hyd cylinders at reasonable cost vs cost of replacing.

Thanks, did not think about that option. It also sounds like Kubota may have a kit as well....
