Disclaimer: I know nothing about tractors and hydraulics, so excuse my lack of knowledge in this area!
Bought this '55 Ford 850/860 (still trying to figure out which one I have) and i've been told it's a Wagner loader on it. Both lift cylinders have a slow leak in them at the top end. I've got 2 questions to start:
1. Shouldn't there be some sort of cap or something on the end of these cylinders? Right now it's about a 1" deep recess down in there until you hit what looks like a snap ring and then the seal.
2. If there is supposed to be something there, where do i go about getting 2 of them...and what exactly do i call them so i can search for them properly?
2. Besides ignoring the leak, is there a fix that i can do? I'm mechanically inclined and a DIY'er so as long as i have a diagram, drawing or something to go by along with some direction of what to do i can probably figure it out.
