I went through the system - new seals in both the piston and actuator. Bought everything from CNH.
Was about $170.
The cylinder bore, piston and ring were fine.
I reused the ring - very little wear on it as it runs in oil all the time.
The project languished for most of the summer while I worked on the tin, paint and tires so I just got it back together about a month ago.
Still not right. Steers fine to the left but hesitates at first when turning right.
I am going to tighten it up a little bit. Pin # 50 in the first photo below is rather sloppy so I'm going to drill out the holes from 5/16" to 3/8" and install a new pin.
Also plan to tighten up the set screws #15 in the second photo but I have to heat the casting with a torch to loosen them as they're stuck.
Got to get back after that as I'm running out of weather.
