Backhoe BH90 Backhoe quesiton

[L3130]

I was using my backhoe yesterday and with the arm extended out it would leak down with the tractor running. It was very noticeable also. Any idea why this is happening? My tractor is a L3130 with 40 hrs on it. My loader does not do this so I am a little concerned. Any ideas?

I have a very simple way of telling if it is the cylinder or something else. On the back side of the cylinder loosen the line and see how much oil comes out and if it drops faster! If it does then a seal kit is in order.

Should I need seal kit at only 40hrs? Which line do I loosen the top or bottom (there are two). I also have only used my backhoe twice since new.

Search the net. I tried quickly but came up with only BH75 stuff.

Just put one on my BH90 and it works like a charm. It's not hydraulic, but it's worth it's wait in gold. Rock solid!
