Apparently, from the posts I've been reading it would appear I have the all too common steering cylinder "O" ring failure. There is a repair kit avialable...all I need are some diagrams to facilitate the removal of the steering cylinder and the installation of the "O" rings any help or comments are appreciated

The steering cylinder was the culprit. I removed the cylinder and took it to the dealer. 400 hours total time on tractor....I wouldn't have expected this repair w/so few hours. I just got a call from the dealer and they informed me they made a mistake on the bill. I had the rubber booted joints replace account the rubber boots were torn from trying to bushog with this tractor. The briars and brush ripped the rubber to shreds. Total bill as follows, Labor=$65(1hr) 2 rubber booted end joints=$91.62, Cylinder seal kit= $36.18, total=$200.40 no tax account farm exempt
