Anybody ever rebuild one of these valve bodies?
The vickers dump valve has blown the big o-ring that seals to the valve body. First local hydraulic shop gave me 2 different o-rings and neither was correct. Machine leaked with first one I put in, swapped it for 2nd and it no longer leaked. Then while trimming a fence row last week, it started gushing oil out every time anything was cycled. Parked machine, went on vacation. Back to repairs today. A different hydraulic shop said its a #16 fitting. Handed me an o-ring and sent me out the door. I'm putting it back together and taking it out to the machine, but is there anything else I should be looking into before I put it back. Machine cycles, functions as it should so I don't believe anything else is mis-behaving.
I just have a lot of work lined up for this machine this month and I am getting really tired of the down time. I already had to rent a towable last month due to a broken final drive, not looking to keep renting.
