hydraulic cylinder repair

[perchb]

Has anyone installed a AW17705 seal kit on a John Deere 1050 #75 loader?
What special tool is needed to disassemble the cylinder? Would appreciate any info on the subject.

Couple of years back we rebuilt the loader cylinders on my JD 4300. Don't remember special tools but there was a definite sequence to do things and instructions to follow.

This is for the JD 512 loader and some others, simple if you have the filler ring. This is the loader my son has.

Some close-up pix will bring more advice.......there's several types of cyls used on JD's

We have not bought the seal kit.
When I have it I will take pics.
My son is looking for the fitting that is welded on the cyl that broke off, that is why I need to remove the gland.
