Afternoon Fellas,

I have a significant oil leak while running and then when standing from the rotating section under the basket. Clearly I need to repair this if I can. While I have carried out some repairs I have not done anything ever with removal of a basket and then replacing what I presume will be an oil seal or or ring underneath the basket to contain the hydraulic oil flow?

I will go an take some photos and attach shortly in a following post to see if anyone understands what needs to be done and if it is reasonable to do so???

I do have a Kubota bucket I could lift the basket off with but I am working alone?

Thanks in anticipation of your thoughts/experiences here,

The two round sections bolted together rotate on the bottom cylinder. Trouble is I don't know what I need to avoid if I pull the bolts and remove the basket - what might occur ??? Best advices please and if really difficult I might have to retire the machine?

OR - is this straight forward and I should not be terrified of breaking or moving something critical?
