I'm nursing along an old 93A backhoe attachment for my JD 450 track loader. Of course it leaks hydraulic fluid from multiple locations but the worst culprit are some little round things located on one or two of the control valves between the two hose connections.
this photo shows the overall control valve setup on this old hoe....
and this photo:
shows the little round things that are leaking. It's the cleanest one in this photo that leaks the most and, curiously (to me, anyway), it leaks when I pull any of the control levers, not just the one for that valve.
What are those round things? They don't have any feature to allow a wrench to unscrew them. They appear to be pressed in place. They do have a sort of lip that would enable one to pry them outwards but they seem pretty well stuck in place.
Any an all suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks
Scott
