As long as they came up and stayed up.......when the tractor was running, it wasn't an issue..........to us. [Reply]  [No Email]

The problem was when a customer bought a new 4020 and it settled and the old 4010 would hold a plow up all winter. It is perfectly normal but you can spend the money and still have a leaker .

These are for renewing the parts for the RS piston seal R26754 RING,BACK-UP ADD 8.94 USD F2741R PACKING ADD 2.90 USD R34154 PACKING ADD 3.62 USD R26543 PACKING O RING ADD 6.16 USD Also it may be as simple as the control valves set too tight which they can be adjusted from the outside on RH side of control valve housing.
