i considered trying that, but never rebuilt a standard cylinder before, much less one of these. Then the other question would be, where to get the parts?
Just to update... bit the bullet and went local JD dealer. They were kind enough to match the price of online dealer for $253 not a great deal, but better than the $275 they wanted!
I was just going to let tall know I offer the seal kit for this cylinder. Am118796. I also rebuild this cylinder for 174.88. Maybe this will help. Take care. 828-443-8023
