Kioti KB2375 Backhoe problem

[mymaer]

I have a Kioti KB2374 backhoe. Recently it started to leak hydraulic fluid. I at first thought it may be a cracked hose, but actually found that it was leaking from one of the hydraulic valves. The valve that cotrols the boom lift. I took the handle off and the top plate and found that the seal was comprised of just a flat plastic washer. I changed this to a rubber -o-ring type washer that fit well. I also changed all the others to this rubber o-ring seal because they too were leaking alittle. When i put everything back together, all the controls worked except the boom lift would not do anything. That control would be the one that had the leak. I have taken it apart again and put it back together and still will not lift. Keep in mind that the only thing I did was add the rubber O-ring seal to this valve and to the others. Everything looks good to me.

Does anyone have an idea of what i might need to do now. It was working fine except for the leak before I changed the seal to fix the leak.

Welcome to TBN mymaer,

I see that this is your first post and I don't know the answer to your problem. I too have a Kioti backhoe but it is a model KB2465. I just wanted to let you know that TBN has a Kioti forum right here also if you scroll down from here on thee main forum page.

If you don't get an answer here just drop by the Kioti forum and try your post. There are a number of Kioti owners there including a couple of dealers posting there and I'm sure somebody will have a good answer for you.

Good luck
