I support post postulates. On fixin yours: Don't tweak any adjustments when you get the lift cover off the tractor. Disassemble, but don't change setting. Pretty straight forward. Make sure you put the O ring toward the piston's crown and the backup washer toward the connecting rod. Backup washer has to be behind the oring so the 2000# hyd pressure doesn't blow it out. On installing the cover back on the tractor, on the right side near the front of the housing are 2 orings about the size of a nickle. Get from your NH dealer (only) and install. The large gasket can be reused with rtv or similar compound. Correct fluid available today is 80w-90, or just 90 wt GL-1 mineral oil. Auto shops have it in rural areas around here. Some use hyd/trans fluid, but that is only about 20 wt and as said, it leaks past a worn oring easily. Makes it nice in the winter, but when the weather warms up it's a bummer. Mark
