Loader I forgot what's inside the horizontal KL130 arm, leak

[mrutkaus]

Might have been going on for long time but just noticed a tiny hydraulic leak dripping from each bottom end of the KL130 add-on replacement brace.

That is, something inside the hollow tube is leaking.

But I don't remember what is in there, probably just two screw together connectors for the hoses?

Yes there are 6 or 8 junctions in there connecting the Hyd lines. Take the access plate off and most likely one fitting just needs tightening so I would check them all. Do not get close to it at all while it's running, since high pressure hydraulic fluid leaks(spray) can penetrate the skin very easily and cause a host of bad health problems.

Wow, 6 or 8 connections! I don't rememberthat. For me it's not just the cover plate now, it's a 70-lb 25 screw 'cover' for it designed to stop the cracking.

Thanks for the info. I think I might wait a while!!

Naaah, if it's leaking, I'd go in and fix it. I might be remembering wrong on my CK30, but it's at least 4 connections in there.

Ok I'll move it up the list. Thanks.
