CUTTING EDGE ( 5035966 - Caterpillar

PROBLEM
The existing O-ring may be missing from the tube connector that lead to ride control unit on certain 246D/262D Skid Steer Loaders and 279D/289D Compact Track Loaders. If the O-ring is missing, it will result in a leak of hydraulic fluid from the hose connection, if machine is equipped with ride control, or leak from the cap if the machine does not have ride control.
