Leaking Cylnder Connector - Koyker 80

[TucsonCowboy]

Can someone help me identify what part(s) I should purchase to repair a slow but constant leak at the connection point shown in the two photos. I've never opened this connector, so I don't know what the inner rubber seals or O-Rings look like. Additionally I don't want to open it up at this point until I have the parts in-hand, ready to replace because I'm using the tractor everyday. Any assistance, including where the best place to order the parts kit on-line, would be very much appreciated.

A new hose or if it's at the treads try to tighten it.

That is a JIC fitting.

They do make a leak free seal that fits inside the JIC fitting.

Thanks J_J for the information. I checked out the Flaretite Web Site and it is very helpful. I'm assuming I would need to order the CARBON STEEL SEALS (P/N 37FT-XX-304-SOR). Is my assumption correct . . . and would you happen to know what size I need; or how I would measure it to identify the size? Thanks again.

Have you tried to put a wrench on it to make sure it just doesn't need a little more tightening?

Yes . . . it's already very tight; couldn't even turn it 2 degrees. Thanks
