I have a 1960's Massey with a Dual 250 loader. The rig is perfect for what I need it for. The only issue is that the loader has a leak from the bottom (end nearest the operator, furthest from the bucket) of the boom which also houses the hydraulic cylinder. The leak is only on one side, not both. I have a picture of the spot that is leaking.
This is not a deal breaker for using the rig -- I just have to fill on a lot more hydraulic fluid than I would like and it is going to get costly over time. Anyone ever had a similar issue, or know if I am looking at a 1-hour fix or a 10-hour fix? My mechanical skills, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best, are about a 6-7..... so I can tackle it but not with a ton of speed and know-how.
My main question is if I need to begin tearing things apart, or if there are a couple simpler fixes I should try first.
