All, I just replaced all the O-rings on my H-3 valve for a 140. Now the increased pressure in the system has caused my rockshaft cylinder to weep fluid on the end facing the rear of the tractor - has anyone dismantled this cylinder and replaced the seals and related parts? Thanks for any info. John

They can be cut apart - rebuilt - and welded back together.

OUCH!, no wait DOUBLE OUCH! No better option? Any known replacements beyond JD?

There are lots of good used ones available. It's the same cylinder up to a 317, and since demand isn't that high, prices are reasonable.

I took mine to the local cyl shop. Every town has one.

Cut it.
replace the O rings etc.
Weld it.

Only thing you do it drop if off and pick it up.

Sounds pretty simple.

Scott - I didn't know you could do that. Certainly something to check along with looking for used ones. Thanks for the info. John
