Got tired of the jumpy three point and the fast leak down on my CT450 with cab so finally decided to tear into it to see what was up.
Found the seal hard as a rock just like every other leak on this tractor.
Took cylinder out of housing and the piston just fell out of the cylinder tube it was so loose.
Kioti needs to find better o-ring / seal material or suppliers if they all get hard and brittle at 1400 hours.
Only took 1.5 hours to have it on the ground with piston out and another half hour to clean things up. To town tomorrow for o-rings and seals.
