I have some light scratches on my JD backhoe for my small tractor. I used to repair hydraulic gate operators for an old job (FAAC) so I understand the ins and outs. I assume I just need carefully file or emery cloth any snags.
Once upon a time I was told that there’s a “jb weld type” product that I can use to fill the gouges? Does anyone know if I’m on the right track? Really I just don’t want to tear up the seals. The light scratches are at the end of the working stroke, but I’d like to do some damage control if I can.
My thought is that the scratches aren’t deep enough for jb weld to hold… maybe I just sand it down till it’s smooth and deal with losing a tiny bit of oil every cycle.
