Kubota LA402 loader oil leaks

[deminin]

I have a nice B2910 with a La402 loader that I bought new in 2002, and only have about 850 hours on it. Over the past few months, a couple of the hydraulic cylinders have developed minor leaks....nothing severe, just enough to leave some oily spots on the workshed floor. I've only had to add a pint of UDT to bring the dipstick level up to normal. Before I go through the hassles and expense of removing and having the loader cylinders rebuilt, I thought I would ask if anyone has any luck with any oil "additives" that might be able to help restore the seals in these cylinders. I follow the recommended oil and filter changes, etc., and use Super UDT and Kubota filters.

Thanks in advance......

If there leaking just get them fixed ... You can do it yourself if you want not that hard or expensive to do . lots of posts here on TBN doing it.....

If it really bothers you I agree with Peter 315...fix them or get them fixed.

I have the same tractor/loader of about the same vintage, which I bought new. Myself, I do not have that issue with about 1600 hours on the tractor, but if I did I would live with it until it made some sense to take action. But my shed has a dirt floor...might think differently if I cared about the oil dripping on the floor...
