Where the heck did this come from?

While putting the BX 25D-1 to bed for the night, I spotted this o ring on the Backhoe. Should this be here?

Factory paint rings... perfectly normal...

Yep. Maclean is correct. My loader had them on it.

If it actually is an o-ring it's the wiper or dust cover protecting the seals. I would have it looked at.

So i went out and checked all 3 cylinders on my fel. And all 3 had this o ring. I called my dealer and was informed the o ring should have come off before delivery. They are installed to keep paint out of cylinder during the painting of the cylinder housing. Good to know. I cant believe i didnt notice this myself. In my job I rebuild hydraulic cylinders from 1 inch to 6.75 inches and our new painted never have these o rings . Must be our manufacturers paint then assemble.
