Curl Cylinder leaking

The curl cylinder on the loader of my 2910 is leaking oil past the seal it seems. How much of a job is it to replace that seal, never done it before? Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you are mechanical it is not a hard job if you have a good vice.

Biggest problem is the fluids. Have a good pan and work the piston back and forth a few times to push out all or most of the fluid. Then unscrew the cap pull out the piston, remove the nut slide off the seal assembly and replace. Air tools seem to work the best for the inside work. If you can not get the nut loose make sure you wrap the shaft in rags B4 you clamp that in the vise.

Simplest route is to a hyd shop. It's a lot easier and less headache.

That said I do my own. Have one on JD loader with a intermintant leak. It's dry as a bone now and next time I use it and park it might seap. Have the seals just am not in a hurry to repair. Will wait for warm weather and live with the seap for the winter. ....

Thanks Harvey. I have one on the Allis leaking as well, thought the process would be about what you said. I will probably wait until warmer weather now, loader not in use as much.
