l48 hydraulic leak filter block tube

[gregs]

Hey Guys ,

Need a little help…..

Just finished filling my hydraulic system with new fluid. I noticed a leak at the filter bracket(2 filters part #32771-33210)
It leaks about a ¼ of a pint a day while sitting.
The leak is from the top of the tube 32771-33310
If I buy new o rings 04816-00280 can I get the tube out of there without taking the bracket apart.
It looks like it’s not threaded.

I’m plenty capable of fixing things but if I have to take it all apart back to the long suction pipe, I might just let it leak for now.
Just looking for some input on how these things go. Anybody ever messed with this ? I think it's an 05 tractor.

Thank You,
Greg

No, you will have to take the filter housing off to get the pipe out.

So yes you would also want to change the 2 o-rings on the 32771-33320 pipe too.

And FYI it's 4 O-rings on the 32771-33310 pipe.

Thanks for the info.
I thought I might be able to put up with the leak since it all full of shinny new fluid. but it's weighing on me.
Thanks for your reply !

I didn't look at the diagrams, but are those the suction pipes? If so...if they're leaking oil, they're also leaking air when the engine's running-and aerated oil is hard on pumps among other things.

Thanks Lugbolt. They are the suction pipes. I ordered the o rings yesterday.
We will see how it goes.
