K008 hydraulic leak

[Brendan]

So a mate has picked up a k008 and seams to have a small leak, don't think it's a pipe as seems to be coming from the spool valves.

On one of the spools it looks like it's weeping from where the rod goes into the top, there is a screw either side, is this something that can be nipped up or is there seals that can be replaced, guessing it's a big job to sort if seals need doing

No big jobs on a K008, Brendan. Get a handful of 1/4” bsp blanks, both genders (there are only two - stuff Stonewall) get all of the lines off and remove the whole block. Don’t lose the R clips and split pins off the linkage, and take pictures of everything. It’s going to be a seal, might as well check the lot while it’s out.

Is it main dealer only for the seals?
Also noticed today that the mini digger will creep forward when pulling the trench or if on a slope, is there any sort of brake setup that can be adjusted?

How many hours has the machine done?

How many hours has the machine done?

Can't remember, but off the top of my head around 2200 hours 2012 model

Leaking seals and the creeping track motors are all relevant to a 10 year old machine,
