The crowd and tilt ram on the loader a 526-56 jcb is giving grief, where the steel pipe goes into the lower end of the ram it’s leaking oil, it hasn’t been welded 5 times now by a neighbor who is very good at welding but only lasts a Few days and it find a new hole somwhere else, above or below or out through the weld it doesn’t matter. Has it happened to ye before? How did you solve it? Is it a case of take it off and get a new outside(insert proper name) made for the ram. I know oil is cheap but it’s going to start flowing out the yard gate soon. It really only happened when’s tilting down towards the ground, very little to no leak while crowding back.
