Today, my hoe is leaking!
Both hoes are in sick bay.
The JD 410C equipped with Stanadyne injection pump is in "flex ring" failure. It is for the moment on standby only duty.
The Case 580K I've had 14 years has had a Case dealer repack of the boom cylinder several years ago, took to spewing oil today.
Last round, it was an out of the machine, haul it to the dealer repair.
I've had two of these machines, each has had a boom cylinder issue before.
First had a dent in the cylinder we believe was a bullet. It ruined the tube, and the piston. Repair was sort of a big deal.
If I remember correctly, this one was a nightmare getting the gland out, the thread is fine & long, it had been treated with red Loctite!
Shouldn't be as bad this time.
