The barn fire b7800 build

Nicb7800 · Apr 23, 2012

Many of you might have already read my previous thread about my b7800 that went thru a barn fire. The tractor is now running and put back together almost. I have to paint the tins then I will start to post picks. I am having a problem finding the hydraulic cylinder packing kits at a good price. The loader is a LA 402 I believe and the back hoe is a BA75. Kubota wants a 120 a packing kit and I am searching for any part numbers for them or maybe somewhere I could find them cheaper. I looks like I will have to prob do all 11. So anything will help. Thank Nic

take the seals and sample parts to a local hyd. shop. 120 a kit is pretty steep it usually turns out easier to have sample parts and seals for matching we've done it for years.

That's what I'm going to try to do, I just hope i can get the o rings that are not in the best shape off in one piece. Lol the only other thing that crosses my mind is that kubota is pretty good at making stuff that is proprietory to there machine. Hopefully they are a pretty common seals sense I do know they are metric, but I will give her a good old fashioned try. Thank you again for your thoughts, and all let you know what I come up with. Nic
