Hi everyone. My first post here. I have a FEL LA211 on a BX2200 circa 2004. Both boom cylinders are leaking. Only has 536 hours. seems a little premature for this to happen??
The cylinder numbers are marked as listed: 75538-63111-0H-031K 117
I believe the first two number sets are the referenced part numbers. The parts book for this loader indicates the seal kit is 75536-63400. But there is also the number 75536-63600 listed. Does anyone know which one is right. Also I can not find anything, anywhere on this cylinder number.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Welcome to the forum!
Inactivity is hard on seals and other flexible parts. With such low hours on a 12 year old tractor, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that leaks could develop.

It is really not too expensive to have the seals replaced. In fact, you can do it yourself if somewhat mechanically inclined.

My BX2000 hasn't had that particular issue and it is of the same era and just a few more hours than yours. However, the hydraulic hoses become suspect after that long. I've replaced several.

I have a 2003 with almost identical hours. All 3 of my cylinders started leaking within a month of one another. I'd suggest doing the seals on all of them. I had a local hydraulics shop repair them. They ran approx. $75- $100/ea. if I remember correctly.
