Bobcat 325 hyroleak

[Jeremy_R]

I have friends 325 at the house this week to use, but it has a hydro leak. I think it's coming from the control valve. Are these repairable/rebuild able. Also the where is the best place to get the service/ipl at a resonable price.

Good luck. If it is like the one on my 341 excavator it is a real pain to get out and expensive to fix. It is a gang set of valves that are mounted as one unit. Mine had a crack in the last valve unit casting and the unit had to be totally disassembled to change the proprietary bobcat casting. Around $1600 if you take it out and to a bobcat dealer. I doubt if a hydraulic shop has access to the bobcat valve.
Good luck

control valves are repairable if it's just the oring seals, make sure you indentify where the leak is b4 removing the valve......sometimes the problem may only be a fitting or hose
