I have a Kubota L4630 with hydraulics on one of the lower 3pt hitch links and the top link as well. The top link hydraulic cylinder started leaking around the ram seal, but we have been unable to get the gland nut removed to rebuild the cylinder. Took it to one of the local hydraulic shops that has rebuilt several cylinders for me, and they can't get it removed either. Only option is to try and cut it off on the lathe, and who knows where that may all lead (or how much it will ultimately cost).
Financially, it may be cheaper to simply buy a replacement cylinder. There are tons of options online for Cat 1 & Cat 2 replacement cylinders, anywhere from $141 to well over $300. Some of the cat 1 kits include hoses, and some even have a locking valve. Question is, as long as the stroke is long enough, any reason not to stick with a Cat 1? Other than pin size, cylinder should have plenty of force to move any of the implements I use.
Suggestions? Heaviest implement I normally use with the tractor maybe 2k lbs, mostly used with a rollover box blade or 6' bush hog.
