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!
