I have zero experience or knowledge of hydraulics. Found a huge loader for my H though. External reservoir which feeds back into the belly pump fill tube. has two 8 foot long hydraulic rams, the owner told me the max lift height at bucket pins around 12 ft.
How should I tackle this? Should I install on the tractor and drive it to a hydraulic shop and let them put in new seals on the rams, and have them flush the hoses out to start?

Basic hydraulics like those found on most common farm loaders that will fit on your H are pretty straight forward. When working on rebuilding hydraulic cylinders, two main considerations come to mind one being the size and weight of the parts that you are working with (hydraulic parts generally are VERY heavy for their size) and the other is cleanliness. Hydraulic pumps (actually any oil pump) operate under very close tolerances so even a tiny piece of grit in the system can wreck pumps and other close fitting components.

If you have the equipment or man power available to handle the parts you are working on, have some mechanical abilities and are comfortable working with oil seals and O-rings, are willing to learn, and can get your hands on a parts breakdown or service manual for the hydraulics on the loader you could probably tackle it your self. If you are unsure about any of the previous list, you are probably better off to drive it in to a shop and pay them to do it.

Good luck!

If there's a hyd. shop in tractor driving distance, if you don't have somebody available to help (Cylinders that size would be hard to handle by yourself.). And you'll likely pay more the more of the work they do.
Good luck with it, and, of course, we'll want to see pictures.
