Rebuilding the hydraulic cylinders for the front-end loader on my 1955 Ford 860 tractor. One of the cylinders was leaking pretty bad but they're old so I figured I might as well rebuild both of 'em. I've never rebuilt a hydraulic cylinder before and I was not expecting what I found but it still went pretty smooth. I tested the rebuilt cylinders in a follow-up video ( https://youtu.be/6Tjf2Ic9ybQ ). See the link below for finding replacement seals.
