Farma 38D leak

[smiles]

I've had a gentle leak on the kingpost (i think it's called) on my 38D and was wondering if anyone can confirm where it's coming from?

It's no longer quite so gentle,in fact a bit of a gusher now!

The oil is coming out from the large flange above the rotating cylinders in the picture.

I'd assume that one or more of the rotating cyliders is leaking and the oil coming up through the top flange/swivel,but would welcome any advice that anyone has to offer.

Cheers

Has it tipped over at any point?

 

Is the hydraulic oil level going down?

Is the gear oil going down?

 

You may have a lost a slew cylinder seal. Does it leak on a right or left slew?

[smiles]

not been tipped in my ownership,not sure about the previous life though!

the oil level on the tractor is going down,quite alarmingly now.

Slew cylinders,thats the right word - not noticable as to which side it is - seems to start leaking as soon as the tractor starts pumping the stuff.

Guess I need to find some new seals then.

I think there is an O ring that seals the base of the crane to the slew box. That may be the offending seal.

Slew pot seals need doing, you will need to do all 4 normally to ensure you replace the offending one
