My Kubota L2800 tractor started leaking hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic cylinder on the LA463 loader. I don't have a workshop, bench vice, or fancy tools, but with a few simple tricks and some elbow grease, I got my seals replaced and you can too!
These how-to hacks should work on a wide variety of equipment parts. Be sure to check your tractor or implement manual before ordering seals or purchasing hydraulic fluid and follow manufacturer specs.
Here are links to some of the basic tools I used in lieu of ordering specific tools for this job.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video!! I watched it before tackling my seals and had no issues!

This is exactly the tractor/loader we have and we are needing to replace the seals. With your help, I think my husband will be able to do it himself. Thank you for a well explained and helpful video!

Great film. Now I know I can do it. Dealer wanted about 700 s side.

Superb film! Thanks alot! I have a totally different frontloader but the work is almost the same. Couldn’t have done it without your ”help”. So thanks again from Sweden.

Great job and excellent tips. I'm curious to know what this would have cost to take it to a dealer to repair. 🚜🙂

I watched this several times and my problem is getting the right seals and o rings.I cant read model and serial# at all.

On my cylinders where the wiper seal end seals threaded cap there is an Allen screw. It looks like a hole for the spanner wrench but there is an Allen screw inside locking the end cap. You may not have one but beware..

Good to know! I'll check mine when I get home from work, I certainly didn't notice an Allen screw before, but it would be good to make sure!

I did my tilt cylinders now I want to do my lift cylinders.. My massey hasn't been re-sealed in 60 years.. Question is are my lift cylinders and my tilt cylinders the same seal kits ?

I'm not sure on your Massey, might even be different depending on the model of loader. MasseyTractorParts.com has a chat link right on the website, and if you give them the model of your loader, they can probably look and see if the same seal kit works for both or not.

Did you have to depressurize the front end hydraulic system before disconnecting the hoses?

@FromtheRootsUp 6 ай бұрын

The only thing I did was make sure the bucket was resting on the ground, so nothing could move while I removed the hoses. Someone else can correct me, but my understanding of hydraulics is when you use the lever to move something you're just directing the flow of fluid, pressured by the pump, to the part you want that pressure on... so if the pump is not pumping, there shouldn't be any pressure .. unless gravity is pulling a raised bucket down putting pressure on that side of the line.
