3 point leak

[Smoody]

Well after 260 hours on the YM2001 it finally has a leak (if you can really call it a leak yet).

The upper Right arm on the 3 point hitch is dripping a bit of oil/fluid after a full days use, its just a few drops. But I don't like any of my equipment to leak, is there a seal in that arm? and is it a simple repair? where can I buy it, I looked at Hoye's website but did not see anything related to this.

The pic attached is not my tractor, just a reference to show where its leaking.

The ym2000 interactive parts diagram at hoye shows a seal on each side, so yours should have the same type of seal. Doesnt look like it would be real hard to change it out, but i have never done it so i could be way off base. Hopefully they carry that part even though it doesnt show under the listing for your tractor. Good luck.

A while back had the same problem.If I recall still have half timers but seems to be getting better.It turned out to be that the Vac. pressure release was stoped up.It's the bent tube right under the back part of your seat.Also the Vac. hoses that connect to the brake vents were plugged if you have them.I believe thats what was stopped up and don't recall seeing it since.It may not be the problem but worth checking out.
