I have a joy stick prince spool for a NH 7308 loader on a 1999 NH TC25.
There's a leaky elbow located on the top center row on the spool.
I removed the elbow and replaced the O-ring but it still seeping between the threaded fitting and the elbow shaft.
It's most noticable when the bucket has reached it's stopping point in the pickup position.
There appear to be 4 similiar elbows connected to the spool and all appear to be holding hydraulic pressure.
Of all the elbows my guess is that the failed one is under the most stress as it operates the return or scoop of the bucket.
I priced a new elbow at $80 and am cerious as to how this piece failed and can it be repaired.
