Hydraulic Seal kit from FridayParts - http://shop.fridayparts.com/46qRH8P
The front-end loader on my Kubota L1-18 had badly leaking hydraulic rams, so I pulled them apart for a full rebuild. In this video, I show the whole process step by step, including a few simple tricks that make the job much easier.
✅ Loosening a stubborn gland nut with a quick tapping trick
✅ Warming new seals in hot hydraulic oil so they slip on easily
✅ Using a zip tie to stretch piston seals over the edge without damaging them
✅ Reassembling the cylinders and testing for leaks
After the rebuild, I put the tractor to work shifting rocks into a slumped section of my driveway — and the loader performed perfectly with no more oil leaks.
If you’ve got a tractor or loader with leaking hydraulic cylinders, this DIY guide will give you the confidence and know-how to fix it yourself.
