Loose Swiper O Rings on Loader Cylinders

[Redbug]

Hi Guys,

I have a 723 loader on my L3830 and have noticed that occasionally an O ring will come loose and stay at the end of the cylinder arm. It is the first O ring you see when looking at a cylinder...where the arm goes into the cylinder itself. I have reglued them back onto the cylinder on occasion, but they occasionally come loose, again. I have noticed a few loose on the dealer's lot also, and was wondering if the O ring is important enough to make an issue or just ignore it? It does not hold any pressure, just seems like a "swiper".

The rings you refer to are probably not the swiper O rings but rather the O rings (as we have been told) are simply seals used when the cylinders are painted.

Thank You Rat! I was not sure and now I don't have to worry. You would think the dealers would just cut them off before selling the loader and avoid the issue altogether.

When I got my tractor home I had the same thing. I tried to push
them back in also. I noticed others were the same. Thats the way
they are

I had similar concerns, and ask my dealer -- he said they were there for painting purposes only.
