Steering controller seal kit?

[Bogey52]

Does anybody know if there is a seal repair kit available for the steering controller in my L4300DT? Its leaking out the dust seal - a lot. The WSM shows how to open it up and replace the seals but I can't seem to find the parts on the Kubota parts website. The controller is a TA040-37002 and it fits about 40 different L models, surely there are repair parts available somewhere. If they expect me to drop over $1100 for a new controller just to fix a leak I'm not going to be very happy.

The dust seal is available but I expect an internal seal is leaking, if you pull it I expect you would be able to go to a hydraulics shop and get them to match what you have.

I have the controller pulled. Oil is coming up through the dust seal so you are right there is an internal seal that needs replaced. Its just funny the manual shows you how to repair it but they don't sell the parts. I'll take it to a hydraulic shop. Thanks for the reply

I'd guess that kubota bought a controller assembly as a part from a manufacturer for those machines and they only supply it as a whole unit. If your hydraulics shop can give you any info on the seal size and/or make of controller, please post it here as it may help someone else down the track.
