Yeah- I know all about those lead washers. I replaced them in May when I put new clutch linings in the machine.

Thanks Larry- I really don't think it is the hydraulic lines- I have replaced them and made sure they weren't leaking. Maybe it is just the O-ring underneath the caps- I will replace them and give it a shot. Thanks for your help and advice -Larry

Hey Guys- I have a 1971 Melroe/Bobcat M600 skid steer. I am leaking hydraulic oil from the inside of the machine and it appears to be coming from the rear axle inner housings. I purchased new O-rings and the four holed gaskets from Bobcat. I crawled underneath the machine and removed the caps...

Hey guys- need some help here with my latest purchase. I bought an old Melroe 600 loader with Wisconsin VF4D to do some work around the house- bought it knowing that it had a few hydraulic issues. Contacted a huge Bobcat dealer locally and gave the guy the serial number and told him it was a...
