Finally happened

[Toyboy]

Well it's finally happened to my 2230 with 621hr, steering going out. It was fine until I had the tranny serviced and since then it's a "wandering child". Apparently SUDT2 is a lot thinner then the SUDT that was changed out, and is leaking past the seals in the steering cyl.
Dealer should be able to pick it up next week and replace the cyl. This is the first problem with the machine so I'll get it fixed and move on.

It should have had SUDT2 in it from the factory. I can't imagine the oil causing it to leak but stranger things have happened.

It's a 2004 and I'm not sure SUDT2 was around then. I thought SUDT was the common one then.

That model, your correct with SUDT.

A few years ago I owned a BX2200 that started having a wandering problem. My dealer took it off and had it rebuilt at the local machine shop. I don't remember how much it cost but do remember it was about half what a new cylinder cost. I used it several years after without any trouble. Just a thought.

Had the one on our BX2200 rebuilt. I took it off and the machine rebuilt it for $65. The BX had just over 2000 hours.
