[QUOTE="shaney, post: 78476, member: 11262"] So this thing has more issues than news weekly. Already replaced a bunch of cables, starter, flywheel but I'm not familiar with hydraulic systems. My skidsteer leaks about 5 gallons ATF within a few hours. So it's kinda becoming expensive and messy to run. Both couplings have class 3 leaks right where it connects to the bucket holder...thing (expect lots of technical terms like this). It leaves trails of fluid at times and if I leave the bucket up overnight it will fall by morning. Thankfully I also took pictures. I think this is the kit I need to fit it but I'm not positive. My mechanical skills don't transfer over to most of this stuff so I'm learning as I go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Holland-L778-Skid-Steer-Tilt-Bucket-Cylinder-Seal-Kit-/161237947473?pt=BI_Heavy_Equipment_Parts&hash=item258a87d451 http://oi59.tinypic.com/2efusud.jpg you can see the leak puddling up in this pic http://oi62.tinypic.com/iqc1te.jpg The next leak comes from the right side (transmission?) again pics.
