Counter weight, ballast 4041.

I modified an old counter weight ballast box for my 4041 with an arc loader. I'm not sure what it weighs but it is heavy. I now have a hydraulic leak where the three point attaches to the frame/transmission. Two questions: what should the counter weight weigh and if it is two heavy would it cause the leak or is something else going on?

Mine leaks there too,  Where the 3pt meets the frame/trans(opposite side of the hydraulic cyl) but I haven't tracked it down yet.  It's still minor.

 

So I'm thinking it's probably unrelated

That's good to know. I put a lot of work into that box. It really works well with the loader. Good balance under load. My leak is in the identical location. Anyone else want to chime in on what the issue might be for us. Thanks.
