I have a Woods 1016 loader on a Kubota L3410 HST. Under load there was a leak from the valve assembly, which was worsening (leak is not from any hose). I took off the boot and think I figured out where the leak is coming from. See the pictures - seems to be from the cylinder - plunger(?) wall - this is where I 'think' I see leakage under load - hard to discern. I replaced an o-ring on the connector piece that screws into the cylinder in case the leak was from there - did not resolve the issue.
I looked at my Woods manual (a manual for 1009, 1012, and 1016 loaders). The valve assembly/kit I have does not match any in the manual though the 1009 Husco valve in the manual comes close.
So not knowing what brand of valve assembly I have I cannot locate a blow-up diagram of the device and cannot determine what parts might work to fix it. The valve kits in the manual identify repair kits and seal kits but I apparently don't have any of those valve assemblies.
I can take it apart to try to spot the issue and perhaps find any part or seal or whatever I might need but that could be a dead end journey. I don't know what I might find and don't know if I will be able to find any parts I might need. Or, I could disconnect the valve assembly from the several quick disconnect hoses and from the three hard fastened tubes and take it to a shop to see if anyone can repair it.
Suggestions?
