My Cub is a 7274 with the (Woods) 417 loader (approx. 11 years old). One of the bucket roll hyd. cylinders has sprung quite an oil leak (where the piston slides in and out of the cylinder)and I need to get the seal repair kit. There is no damge on the ram cylinder, it appears that the seal is shot. Does anyone know the part number of the seal (or kit) for this FEL ? (the Woods web site only seems to have info on their newest loaders) - Thx in advance

It's almost a sure bet that your problem is with those 2 safety interlock switches (activated by the 2 shifter handles). Try this to prove it:

1) remove the guard plate from above and around the shifter handles.
2) locate the switches activated by the 2 shifter handles (you will see wires coming to and from each of them).
3) unplug the wires at the quick disconnects (they each are male-female mated pair).
4) intead of having each mated pair of quick disconnects running thru the switch, plug them into each other (you are now by-passing each safety interlock switch).
5) test this set-up for a while ---- betcha anything you'll never have another problem,

Just be damn sure you have the transmission in nuetral when you start it.

In testing these switches, I've noticed they seem to be a point of high resistance when they should be closed and having virtually zero resistance to current flow !
