I noticed this evening that my 318's hydro is leaking oil up around 'C' in this picture

When standing behind the tractor, it is the one on the left(if that matters). Does this sound like a check ball issue? Also, curious as to everyone's opinion...Should both valves be replaced or would you only change the leaking one? Looks like a call to LJ Fluid Power may be coming soon too.

Thanks,
Terry B

Terry - Try to clean around "c", sometime dirt or debris can prevent it from popping backup. If it is stuck, spray some penetrating oil on it.

Tim, it actually moves freely. Pops up easily etc. but leaks around part that pops up when it is running.

Well, I guess replacing the leaking one for now will do. However, I would probably get two at once, the price has gone up a bit.

I think I'll just replace both and keep 1 around in case.
Thanks

Terry,

Not sure if they are the same but here is a link that we used to fix ours and was cheaper than new ones from Deere.

That price looks much better than the Deere $$!
