My Kubota L3170 has started leaking fluid under the front end. It appears to be coming from above the two steering lines that are exposed on the bottom of the tractor.
Moving the FEL doesn't seem to affect it, but turning the steering wheel under power makes the fluid leak fast. The other day I was using the tractor, and the front wheels kept straightening during right turns. I don't know if they also did it when I turned left.
Any suggestions as to where I should look first?
I would like to replace the steering hoses because of their age. Can anyone tell me the size or part number? I would rather buy generics than spring for the same thing at an OEM price. I would prefer to leave them in until I get the new parts.
