Scotty: Wrong board, hahaha. We'll have to put you in the same catergory as the guy asking the Case question other day. We will not tar and feather you but the other board might for not asking them first. Now seriously are you saying there is large nut around end of cylinder where ram enters the cylinder. You might just try tightening that nut if it is as I described. Some of those cylinders rely on tightness of the big nut keeping seal tight. It will probably only be a short term solution. When the ram is fully extended are there any marks on the ram? If there is you probably will need to take the whole cylinder to a hydraulic shop. What happens here is forign objects get where they shouldn't be as you tip bucket and score the ram. Those score or scratch marks damage the seal. This doesn't happen often, but is also quite hard to avoid 100% of the time. The seals can also just fail with time. And yes cylinder does have to come apart to replace the seals. Hydraulic shops can also repair a lot of marks on rams. By the way on terminology the piston is inside on the end of the ram. If you are doing this there are also seals on piston inside, they will not leak externally. It will just allow oil to bypass the piston and the bucket be tipping towards the dump position if they are bad. Any questions you know what to do. You indicated to me before the loader my have been not in use for awhile, thus the seals may have just dried out, that is the simple fix.

We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
