LA480 FEL cylinder seals

[Jeff K]

My neighbor brought his tractor over to my shop. It has a blown seal on the bucket Hydraulic cylinder. Is there a way to ID the parts before I tear into it?

It is a Kubota LA480

Serial #17388

Be aware that OEM Kubota seals are very pricey! It's one of the main reasons I simply took off my cylinders and delivered them to the local hydraulic shop for their rebuilds. They used much less expensive "standard" off-the-shelf seals, tested, and guaranteed them. Hard to beat by doing it yourself.
