I blew out one of the 1 in seals on the blade tensioner on my 2003 LT40. The seals kit is on backorder with Woodmiizer. Has any one sourced the seals from another supplier.

Thanks

If you have a nearby hydraulic cylinder rebuilding shop, I would go there.  They probably can match the diameter of the "square" O rings.

I've had to do what MM said a couple times.  My local hardware store had a hydraulic o ring assortment that worked temporarily

I went to a local  repair shop. They were able to supply me a seal for under $6.00.  Part number is U12-1.00-SQB   The seal that I replaced was the one were the threaded rod is.  So for it has been working.

Seals are the same for front and rear pistons.

Fedex 2-3 day $9ish got it from Washington to Virginia the next day. I did order early morning the previous day. 

They have a wiper seal for the rear piston if anyone needs it. Size is 1.000x1.372x.187
