My tilt cylinder is leaking. It’s not one of the hydraulic hoses. I see there are kits to rebuild the seals with doesn’t look too bad except for one hard seal that either requires a special $400 tool or heating up to get on. Anyone done this? What’s the dealer likely to charge me to do it?

Couple years ago I had the tilt cylinders on my B2 910 rebuilt by hydraulic shop in Pittsburgh. I dropped them off and picked them up a week later, and it cost me $100 each. I thought it was a fair deal, since if I bought the seal kits from Kubota it would’ve cost something like $60 per cylinder. It’s an option you might want to consider.
