Bobcat Ct 450 with 9tl loader and 7' 730 lorenz snowblower, 7' Road Boss utility grader
Got tired of the jumpy three point and the fast leak down on my CT450 with cab so finally decided to tear into it to see what was up.
Found the seal hard as a rock just like every other leak on this tractor.
Took cylinder out of housing and the piston just fell out of the cylinder tube it was so loose.
Kioti needs to find better o-ring / seal material or suppliers if they all get hard and brittle at 1400 hours.
Only took 1.5 hours to have it on the ground with piston out and another half hour to clean things up. To town tomorrow for o-rings and seals.

Not bad, $340 for all the parts I need including new piston and cylinder which had some minor scoring on them which could have been honed out but i didn't want to chance it for the price of new parts.
