GC2310 FEL Cylinder Leaks??

67PLY · Aug 10, 2005

I am seeing some hyd. fluid leakage on our GC2310 w/MF2350 loader. Right now it is visible on both bucket "tilt" cylinder rods and drips on the bucket and floor. Any body else having this problem. Tractor has 51 hours.

Are you sure it is not a hyd line some times they drip some and may need to be loosened and a new o ring or tefflon tape put on the threads ...

Hydraulic lines and fitting are dry.

If its under warranty, contact your dealer. I'm sure they will be more than happy to take care of it. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Spoke with the MF service manager - She said that would rebuild them under warranty at no charge. They have a service charge to come pick up the tractor. So I am going to remove them my self and drop them off for repair.

Dealer rebuilt both of the tilt cylinders on my FEL today. Took less than an hour and they work better after putting them back on the tractor - no leaks. Service manager said it was the first time they had to rebuild these on the MF 2350 loader. If it would happen again under warranty they will replace them.

I had the same problem. My dealer rebuilt mine, and although I was going to pay for pickup and delivery he didn't charge. The impression I got was that this is a design or manufacturing problem - he didn't say that but when I asked about replacements he said "There aren't any available."
I seem to be seeing a little seepage again and will ask for a replacement if the problem reoccurs. I'm around 150 hours right now on the tractor.
Good luck!
