Oil leaks everywhere!!!

We have a Ford 6600 and it take the same seals on that brake rod , it really sucks replacing them and the best of all is that the quality of the replacement seals are terrible. They only last 3 to 4 months and then starts craking, tearing and perishing, and that is even so called genuine patrs.

Yea it's a utter disgrace the quality of parts these days fortunately the brake seals are really cheap but that's part of the problem 🤷‍♂️ does your yoke see alot of work? Also one thing that got cut unintentionally was that I grease the rod when installing so it can slide easier and also gives it a chance to slide rather then flexing which reduces wear and seems to increase the duration of them.

Hi there how are those brake seals holding up?

[@merogistix9412]

@waterfallfarm5408 Hi, The tractor sat for a few months, piston sleeve rusted through, and had to overhaul the engine. Running great now and sounds healthy again , it had quite some wear on the rocker shaft at the intake and exhaust valve adjustment. The seals are still holding up for now.
