I own a MAX28XL, 2014, 500 hours.
I have done a lot of earth moving, digging, Field work with it and the MAX has performed well.
In the last six month the FEL Control Valve started leaking, I finally decide to clean it up and found one of the Banjo Fittings is leaking.
I removed the fitting and found the Washer/Rubber Seal was leaking and it had gotten worse over the last six months.

So, I have looked on the Web for these seals but I have not been lucky enough to find one. I finally contact a Site called "Mahindra Parts Direct" !
They want $20.00+ for one, now I know we are talking high pressure, which means $$$, but $20.00 for one seal was just too much for me.

I am dealing with "Shearwood Tractor Parts" at the moment, waiting for a picture of the Seal, just to make sure it at least looks like the item.

I have tried three Hydraulic Shop in my area without finding something similar, so I am up in the air at what to do.

Does anyone know a Shop that sells Banjo Fitting Seals for flat surface mounting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time / GOD Bless

Banjo fittings typically seal with either a copper washer or a bonded seal, also called dowty washer. These things cost less than $1 each and that's on the high side. Heck, $20 is probably a box full of those.

You'll have to measure the outer diameter of the banjo bolt to figure out the size of the dowty washer. It's most likely metric.

I don't how an hydraulic shop can call themselves an hydraulic shop without having this stuff in stock or even the will to help you out on something so simple.
