Steering Cylinder Rod Guide Replacement on JD 3203; Difficult?

[Emperor]

Glad you got it free.

If anyone has a similar issue, this John Deere Seal Kit includes illustrated instructions. Very helpful. Thanks again to Joecdeere! I was definitely heading in the wrong direction before his suggestion. My suggestion to those of you with similar DIY questions, get a copy of a technical manual for your particular make and model tractor. I ordered a CD for mine off of eBay for $50. Bargain! John Deere wants blood and my first born?!?

I have been forced to DIY on all my tractor issues. There is no reputable or competent John Deere service center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. For the life of me, I cannot understand why everything about fixing a tractor is so damned secretive. Can't find any illustrative instructions online. Can't find any technical manuals. Can't find prices for parts on JD website. There are only 2 pictures of this particular Power Steering Cylinder online?!? :confused3:

Ridiculous!

This site and sites relative to learning, understanding, and fixing things; is the only types of social media platforms that serve mankind!

Thanks for everyone's help!
