I'm about to split my 2510 to replace the rear seal and will need to cap or plug various lines. Does anyone know of a kit with a good assortment of sizes? Or is this better done one-plug-at-a-time from Deere? I found some auto parts store kits but they seem much overpriced, for just small pieces of plastic. Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses and ideas. Tom, per the block number I believe this one uses the later cheaper, easier seal. Guess I'll find out soon. Thanks.

Can't you just wrap a piece of plastic around them and secure it with a rubber band, women's hair tie or a zip tie? It works for me.

I have a collection of caps, plugs from hydraulic hoses and valves I have purchased. A couple years ago at my hardware/farm and ranch store I found some tapered rubber plugs in different sizes. they work good and being tapered the cover a pretty good range. They were sold individually not a kit

Years ago I went to a hyd place and bought a nice assortment of metal caps and plugs and a nice plastic storage bin for them. Not sure of the cost but we do use them fairly often. I also have a drawer of saved plastic caps. For one time use you might want to consider just buying an assortment of corks. Another hint is if the tractor sets for a day before splitting much of the hyd oil drains back and makes less mess. Drain the antifreeze ahead of time as well. Another hint on a 2510 if your tractor is a very early one do not buy the way overpriced seal from Deere. Update your rear housing to the newer number. Ask for housing for a combine as they will be cheaper. You will also need the special tool to install the seal. Tom

I can't help you with the immediate question. I have saved all caps over the years and have 5 gal pail full. I buy clear silicone in the little 3oz tube, I think it is? They come with a nozzle I don't use, but save. They come in handy for plugging smaller lines, similar to the old golf tee.

Hydraulic shop near my sells a kit with a selection of soft plastic plugs and caps that would work in most cases.

I have saved caps and plugs for years and I still don't have one to fit everything. I often use aluminum foil to cap lines. A 4x4 piece of foil covers and caps lines nicely.

I save plugs/caps every time I got a line or hose with one on it. A hydraulic shop with have steel plugs and caps. Me personally if I don't have plug I use a rag to keep dirt out.
