Woods BH750-2 (3301 & up serial #)

So I have this backhoe on the back of my '88 Ford 1720.

When I'm finished using the machine and I park it after some time the Boom and the bucket both start to float and slowly fall to the ground. Ill park it and the after a few days it will basically be resting on the ground. Now I have a few leaky cylinders. Would that be the issue and when I rebuild them with a seal kit fix this issue or is it a deeper problem in the valves?

Are these seal kits all i need to rebuild these hydraulic cylinders? This kit is for the boom and dipperstick.

This is the cheapest place to start problem solving. You could disassemble the cylinder(s) and have a good hydraulic or seal shop match up the parts you need.

Most likely, this will solve the problem.
If you do buy these kits, they would be all you need.

Thanks, yes I bought seal kits for the Swing, Boom, Bucket, and both Stabilizer cylinders to re-seal them. The Dipperstick cylinder was re-built before I bought the machine. I hope the re-seal of the Boom cylinder stops the floating down of the backhoe when I leave the machine off overnight.
