Hydraulic cylinder seal

tony3542 · Aug 24, 2006

I noticed today while using the loader on theb7610 the seal ,O-ring had came off the end of cylinder.Can it be pressed back in to the cylinder?I don't want to tear it up or damage anything,also hate to have to run it to a dealer for something simple.
Thanks tony3542

Cut the oring off and discard it. Those orings are installed on the cylinders to keep the paint out of the cylinder seal. Once painted, they serve no purpose.

Wow! I had the same issue on the FEL on my L3400. I was all worried about it. I love this forum. Thanks for the info.
