Finally bought an L5450

That's perfect. I will certainly be ordering the QA setup. I already have jobs that I need my pallet forks for stacking up!

My L5450 because of it's size and power really increased its usefulness when I put the SSQA on it. I still have to install a thumb on my backhoe and then it really will be the most handy tractor I have. it also helps to keep the hours down on my newer tractors if this one gets used more.

I would say that the o-ring on the 3-pt piston is worn out. Not that big of a deal to replace. Brian

Brian,
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I just finished replacing both o-rings in the 3pt piston and head piece. Put the tractor back together, and the 3pt now works flawlessly and held my MX6 up overnight with no leakdown. Thank you so much for your help!!!

I did not take pics, however for this repair, it was super easy.
Remove 4 bolts holding the seat base, remove seat.
Remove 6 bolts holding round cover over piston, and disconnect hydraulic supply.
Lower arms all the way down by hand several times until piston exposes itself.
Pull piston and replace o-ring.
Second o-ring is located on the head piece.
Bolt back together and you're done. With parts in hand, probably an hour job, start to finish with cleanup.
