If the man called a shop to come out and look at it, they would charge a service call, mileage, and an hourly rate. It probably would cost more than the tractor is worth.
BUT, since you are not doing this as a professional shop, and helping a fellow club member, I would not even think of charging that much. You do have travel expenses, though. Spending an afternoon with a fellow club member might be all the pay you want. Then too, it might become more involved and you might want at least a bit of compensation for your labor and knowledge.

When it came to financial compensation, I would never charge as much as shops for several reasons. I did not provide warranty, insurance, or the security of a professional shop so I did not feel justified to charge the same rates as they did.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
