Always a good idea to track nuts and bolts when removing especially those parts that require different length bolts in specific places. I do need to ask first what model tractor are you working on, and secondly why do you have so many hydraulic issues that you need to have to remove the top cover so often? Diagnose the true root cause of the problem, get it fixed, and then no worries for another 20 years or so.
