He shows the worn O-ring up close, sources a replacement at NAPA, and reassembles the fitting with clear step-by-step narration. He also recommends a ~$7 Harbor Freight O-ring assortment kit. Best for Max 26 owners tackling a similar minor hydraulic leak themselves.
An owner-operator named Kyle sharing hands-on repair experiences from his own tractor, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
A worn O-ring inside the fitting where the hose connects from the power beyond port to the loader valve, flattened and missing half its diameter, caused the fluid to seep out.
Release hydraulic pressure, loosen the jam nut with an adjustable wrench, pull the fitting apart, replace the damaged O-ring, clean debris, and retighten snugly without overtightening.
Kyle bought one at NAPA for about 52 cents, and also recommends a roughly $7 Harbor Freight metric O-ring assortment kit covering various sizes for tractor hydraulics.
