Bobcat e10 rotary valve

[Swancott2007]

Hi chaps,I've got a little bobcat e10 and it suffers from blade drift(dropping of it's own accord) and I've narrowed it down to being a knackered seal in the rotary valve.I was just wondering if anyone on here has repaired 1 with much success? And an idea of costs involved? Tia.

You can buy seal kits for a reseal, you are looking at the bottom three seals, but you have to strip and replace all, a big vice or press, and lots of grease, they can go ok, make sure you keep the old seals as spares, obviously not the bottom three seals.
