kioti kb2385 back hoe - Hydro leak where rod enters body

[buyerjohn]

kioti kb2385 back hoe - I suspect the leak is caused by a scratched rod damaging the seals. If cost effective, I'd rather just a buy a new right hand stabilizer cylinder - would either of these cylinders work as a plug n play replacement using the existing cylinder's pins?

I couldn't locate the comparable kioti part price.

thanks, John.

You will not know until you tear it down or someone tears it down. Just might need seals or a new rod

Well, just how close are the measurements from pin to pin?

Is the stroke the same?

Is pin size the same?

thanks for the quick reply...the overall pin to pin closed distance is within 3/4", stroke is the same, shaft and bore are the same - I was hoping to avoid removing the cylinder to determine the existing pin size. The pin size is the only spec that's not easy to measure on the existing part so was hoping someone else had the same issue.

Kioti replacement is 3 times more expensive and I'm not sure if that's because the pin connections are customized.
