I noticed some minor leaking on one cylinder of my Terramite loader so I replaced the seals. The other side seems OK (no visible leaks), but I wondered if the piston seals which I can't see could be worn and therefore the refurbished side would be doing more of the lifting and causing some sort of strain, or is this something not to worry about? Thanks

The cyls are teed together if either piston seal leaks it will drift down. No drift means they are both holding. The bad thing is usually the piston seals are not far behind the rod seals for failing unless the rods Are damaged. CJ

OK that answers that; there is no drift down so they are both holding. Many thanks.
