BX24 O-Ring

[flstnhd]

After moving some rocks and dead trees around this morning, I parked the BX24 to get some lunch. When I returned I had a nice puddle of hyd fluid under the tractor. The leak is coming from a split o-ring on one of the giant bolts on the hyd manifold(?) for the FEL under the battery. ( hope that made some sense ) Does anyone know if these are just o-rings I can get at the hardware store ? The dealership closes at noon on Sat and won't be open til Monday. If so, does anyone know what size ? I can take the one with me and try to match it but if someone knew the correct size it might make it easier.

Thanks for any help. This is a great site ! It's hard to believe how much I've learned here in the last two months.

THANKS !

Here are two pics. They may be better than my description The o-ring was between the bolt head and the hydraulic thing. I guess they are banjo bolts (?)

Here is the actual o-ring. It looks and feels like an ordinary o-ring.

Thanks for any help !

I'd sure try a hardware store O-ring--at least it might keep ya going until the Kub dealer is open. I looked at the Kub parts book and they don't give O-ring dimensions unfortunately, I have several O-ring kits that I bought on sale for cheap at Harbor Freight. Might want to pick one up to keep on hand for just such "emergencies".

Thanks Skyco. This is my first tractor and it sounds like a good idea to have some extras on hand. I can see some of the other o-rings squishing out from under the bolt head that might need replaced.

I also asked in the parts/repair forum and before I had a pic of the o-ring it was thought it would be a bonded-seal. Would that be better to use here or are they for different applications ?
