The Bobcat never disappoints when it comes to leaks. It leaks from hoses, cylinders, parts, and today, the swivel joint! The swivel joint is what gets the hydraulic fluid from the upper structure down to the track structure, which powers the track motors and front blade. It is designed to spin around as the top of the excavator spins independent of the tracks. It is really an impressive example of engineering!
Well, mine is leaking. The top seal (which is mostly just to keep out debris) has become brittle and is cracked, and one of the internal seals is leaking which is allowing fluid to flow up and out of the cylinder.
I noticed that every so often, there would be a wet area or small puddle of hydraulic fluid directly under the center of the machine. I tracked some leaky hoses and fixed those, but the center puddle kept appearing. Eventually I found that it was coming from the swivel joint itself. Yay!
In today's video, I'm going to pull the swivel joint and replace the seals in an effort to stop the leaks. What a pain this job was!
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate every viewer and every subscriber!
