I'm sure this is just because i have to pull the cylinder apart about 4 times to repair a crack where a hose attached. So i'm sure its just the piston seal.I shut the machine down to do this so there was no oil moving, so i knew that i wasn't compensating for the lowering of the arms by giving it more oil when i pushed my heel down a bit.Thats a fair amount of wear! I can't see a problem in making a seat reamer for the valve if needed. One option is if you have the control block out is to give bobcat a call, they would re-machine the seat if they had the gear, which i would think they would, as its their branded control block. Never be afraid to ask them to do little thinks like that, they are happy to help. I know a guy that takes parts in and gets them to assemble it for him and they have no problem with it.My only concern with replacing the detent balls is the fact that i don't know what the cap is like, if the balls have worn a groove in the housing and replacing the balls may do nothing. But i guess i will deal with that when i need to.</blockquote>
