Has anyone used the seals from eparts? They look to be a legit company.
The BF550 loader on my L2850DT has been leaking more and more (leaks never get better) with usage and I can’t find any other seal kits.
Or does anyone know a source I’m not finding?
I’ve gotta do lift and curl, at least they’re all 4 the same.
I’ll be getting acquainted with the local hose shop as well.

You should be able to get any hyd. cylinder parts at your local hyd. repair shop, and at a very favorable price.r

I just ordered a seal kit from eparts for my la481 boom cylinder. Can let you know how it goes if you haven't tried already.

That’d be awesome and appreciated.
I wish the online parts diagram for my FEL showed what parts were included for the factory seal kit, eparts shows seven pieces for mine.
it’d be reassuring to know it’a the same as the factory.

Any part in the parts breakdown listed as #70 is in the seal kit.

Thank you sir! Messick, Coleman, and Kubota seem to have disassociated the BF500/550 from the L2850DT’s parts lookup page.

it looks like seven parts, and the kit from parts is seven and they look to be the right ones.

The parts lookup on the dealer's website is Kubota's parts lookup, the dealers do not have their own.
If you put L2850 into the search window and click it, you will get the different versions of the L2850.
Go the the Right-Hand side of the screen and click the options arrow in line to your version of L2850. This will show all options for that version. It shows the BF500 in that list. You can then click on the option and open its parts breakdown.

Eparts gasket kit worked out great! I swapped them out last weekend and have gotten a couple hours of fairly heavy use in this week with no leaks. I used their parts lookup to choose the kit.

Good to hear, I got a kit for each cylinder and will be doing them (along with hydraulic hoses) soon.
