Boxer 532

[arborworks1]

Having trouble with a leak on the contol valve of the lift arm. There is a small pop out in between the ports on the valve. It doesn't appear to have a way to remove it.
Anyone experienced similar problems on boxer controls?

I thought the popup in the middle of the bottom pic was the culprit. After further dissection looks like a worn o ring in between the valve banks.

While it's out, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to replace all the sectional o rings, given the minor time and expense while it's already out.

 

[arborworks1]

Yeah. I'm going to o ring everything.

I hate hydraulic oil. I've got an issue with the grapple valve on the log loader not returning to center.. Gotta open that up soon.

Just finished putting everything back together. New o rings all around. Still leaking in the same spot.
I put in a call to compact power for a replacement valve bank. I can't stand for things to leak. Especially when it's leaking on top of a hot engine.

So I went back into everything. Found a small o ring on the adapter coming out of the bank that was pinched flat. When I left the shop it was still dry and clean. Crossing my fingers that it's solved.
