A few months ago , one of the cylinders for the stabilizers on my 757C BH took a dump . Blowing fluid , etc... . Looked at finding a after market cylinder , none though were right when it came to orientation of the fittings , since it very tight when the stabilizers are retracted . Thus went with a rebuild kit . After a PM to Rick B. on availability of the rebuild kits , I just purchased 1 through local dealer .
Working with New local dealer was awesome . They actually took over the local dealership , but are based out of a Framing community 80 miles East of here . My Brother use to work with them instead of the dealer here back when He farmed .
Anyway , Yesterday I was in town and Wife sends me a text that the rebuilt cylinder took a dump , leaking fluid and she used a bungee cord to hold it up ? :shocked:
So I get home depressed that I had screwed up installing the rebuild kit . Slow walk up to tractor and to my surprise , Notice that the cylinder leaking is Not the rebuilt one but the other side , which had been a slow leaker anyway . The rebuilt one had been painted by my Son a little darker blue than the original N.H. paint , Plus it was dry , no Leaks . :cool2:
So now will have to order another kit , Which Ironically , I think I remembered telling Rick B. that I would just order 2 at the time , since when one goes out , other will likely also . So Yep , it did and using the tractor for the next few weeks will required a strap on stabilizer holding it in place . :confused2:
