McCormick 33 loader rebuild

Iam needing to rebuild the cylinders on the McCormick 33 loader that I've got on the 460. I still have good pressure for lifting but over a week there's puddles of oil under the front end of the cylinder. Is there an easily accessible ring kit and is there an easy was to tear these cylinders down?

I have a model 33 on my M.

Everything I read says a model 33 has a trip bucket, and a model 33A has a hydraulic bucket. Mine has a trip bucket and a decal that clearly says it's a 33A. ???

Your cylinders look different from mine, from what I can see in your second picture.

Anyway, a few years ago I needed to rebuild my cylinders for the same reason as you. For two weeks, I tried off and on to get them apart, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to do it. I ended up taking them to a shop in Omaha. They had both of them rebuilt in a couple of days for a total of $150, and I haven't had any problems with them since. It was money well spent, for me.
 
Just shooting from the hip here but those cylinders look a lot like the ones on the Horndraulic
loader on my M. Where that bell shaped cap is with the bumps on it do you see threads on the
cylinder tube where they meet? In other words does it look like they screw on? If so the bumps
are there to lock pipe wrench jaws to screw that piece off. That is how the one came apart on my
loader.

it does have the bumps for a pipe wrench.. did you buy generic rings from a shop for the replacements?

Hydraulic bucket was an option on the 33A.
