John Deere 425 Zero turn Hydraulic pipe leak

[melvinhatcher]

Anyone here ever worked on or replaced the "O" rings on a TUFF TORQ BY KANZAKI MODEL: DUP 10E S/N: 10E006141, if so would you please shed some light on your experience with this unit.

Well gentlemen, I think my leakage problem have been solved.
I was topping my reservoir off with the wrong weight oil, I was using AW-10 Hydraulic fluid.
The more 10 weight Hydraulic fluid I added to my reservoir the more the leak increased.
Once I started using the correct weight oil 20-50W motor oil the leak gradually subsided.

Local hyd shop or hyd hose shop will have those orings.

When it gets hot, check it again, just in case. I would think there needs to be an o-ring in those type fittings.

I suppose things fixed itself when the owner/operator wised up and put the correct oil in the reservoir.

Almost a year now, since I put the correct oil in the reservoir, no leaks not even a wet spot.
