2810hst hydraulic fluid leak

[gav64]

I have a 2810hst with about 450 hours. Hydraulic fluid is leaking out the reliefe valve located under the seat on the 3 point arms cover plate. It is a fitting that has a small bolt with a hole drilled though it. The leak seams to be coming from the threads of the fitting not the relief screw, the threads do not appear to be tapered. I have tried sealing the threads with teflon tape, locktite blue and loctite thread sealer, neither worked. It only leaks when you are moving not idling and leaks at a pretty good rate. Any ideas out there. thanks Glenn

Had the eaxct problem with my 2810. Dave's Tractor in Red Bluff traced it to the vent being plugged on the lower filler plug. The plastic one where you add the fluid. Not one drip after this fix. Hope this helps
