I rebuilt all cylinders on my JCB 215S backhoe. I've used for over 100 hrs without any significant leakdown.
Recently the Front End Loader lift control started feeling 'sticky' when moving off of zero fwd or backward. A few weeks later the FEL started leaking down fairly fast (1" per min+) whether loaded or not.
I assume some loader valve seals are leaking and need replacement, but not sure which spool.
Also, Does anyone know if this can be done with the valve installed, or do i have to pull it off the machine?
