Hmmm, I'm scratching my head a bit. The lift cylinder head in not a square piece and it is a hexagon ( 6 sided square looking thing). That is # 42 on your list piston diagram that I posted previously. were you able to open the PDF attached files? it is very close to what I have on my 1700 and functionally and component wise identical to the pics below
lift assembly with the head removed.
You need to remove the head that has 6 bolts, retrieve the the cylinder and push the piston out. Notice the big fat rod that actually translate the piston movement to rotation of rock shaft #4. when you put everything back do make sure the rod is inside the cylinder and resting on the rear of the piston. Look at the orientation of seal lip, it has to go just like that and not the reverse. You have only one chance at it. Make a mistake and you'll buy a new seal. Remove bolts and put back in place in criss cross fashion. Make sure #20 and #21 o-ring is put in right. I replace mine but the old one was perfectly okay. Make sure to lower the lift handle to dissipate hyd pressure before opening the cylinder head. The square thing under the seat most probably is 4 wheel engagement or differential output shaft cover in 2 WD like mine.
JC,
ps. I don't guess if you were able to find the thread I started about this. it has got more information you want to know. you might find it useful. double click on the link below.

can you rework your question and may be the part # you're talking about?:confused2: I'd get the seal from NH and the rest depend on what it is. A lot of those parst are common even with some newer TC models. Bunch of the parts can be cross referenced.
JC,
ok got the#19 seal part order and my screw plug, and i get pretty much on how to take it out and everything, but im a little confused on what you were saying about when you put it back, in how you have to have the rod resting on the cylinder. Could you please detail this one more time. Oh and when you take off the head does the cylinder just slide out.
Thank You again

Look at the lip orientation on the damaged seal that I replaced on mine. You need to slide the new seal with that orientation on picture #3. Do not use anything to pry the seal. it'll be tight, lube it with the hyd oil and push it over the piston with equal and constant push.
On pic#1 you see the back of the piston , the rod that has rounded end sits in there and hyd oil pressure moves the piston up and down that pushes the rod. on pic #2 you see the rod and how it is connected to rock shaft. When the rod moves in or out causes the rotation of the rock shaft and on the outside the lift arm moves up or down.
Make sure you have nothing attached to 3 point lift system. When you remove the head then by lifting the lift arm up causes the cylinder to move forward for you to retrieve. Even without the moving the lift arm you can grab the edge of the cylinder and pull it.
All of what I said is clearly shown on the file attached before. You might have a bit of problem seeing it which is okay but really it is easier than how I explain it. You just got to jump in it with two feet.
