I removed the outer bolts and left the nuts on....I have the top cover loose and it moves around but something is keeping it from coming loose. What do I need to do to get it to lift on off?
(quoted from post at 02:45:33 10/25/14) Did you disconnect the control levers from the pump?

No, I haven't. What does it take to do this?

OK....I went and got the FO4 manual. Cover is off. cylinder is off. Im putting o n new cylinder and piston. I got the newer style piston with the oring and flat rubber ring with white strip. Does it matter which ring goes wher

YES IT MATTERS! Oring towards the oil!

Im confused. The o ring fits into the groove of the piston, correct?
The flat gasket wont stretch over the piston, does it just go into the cylinder in front of the piston?

Got it back together this morning. I had screwed up the exhaust control valve when I was first trying to get the cover off. I found all the pieces laying in the bottom of the sump. It took me a while to figure out how to reassemble it and I had to straighten out the bent plunger but it is all together now ang working great.....I'll never try and do this alone again....that cover is heavy

Well...it worked great for a while but after mowing for about an hour, it would get stuck up or down. If I hit a good bump it knocked it loose and it would work properly. It also seemed to be lifting on its own...I'd be mowing and have the bush hog positioned where I wanted it and next thing I know the tail wheel is free spinning in the air.
I'm wondering if the exhaust control valve can be messed up or something
(quoted from post at 17:47:28 10/28/14) The 9N and 2N do not have position control, meaning the 3 pt
doesn't stay where you put it. That was added to the 8N.
You can add it by adding a bolt on position control device like

That's assuming that you have an overhead beam to hook it up to. Or maybe a large tree branch overhanging your driveway. Or you could build yourself an "A" frame of sorts.

It's painful watching the young lady in the tutorial video beating on the cylinder mount bolts. I would definitely suggest you don't follow her lead there Mike.
(quoted from post at 21:13:50 10/28/14) Ideas, yes. Definitive answers no.
While you have it apart, make sure your lift arms do not bind.
The ones on the back of the top cover attached to the rock
shaft, not the lowers. There are brass bushings in each side.
Others can help you more with the internals, but a good cleaning
and new oil can do wonders for sticking systems.
Since you already have it apart, now would be a good time.
Dry gaskets when it goes back together. Avoid RTV, etc.
Glad to hear you got it fixed, thanks for the follow up post!(quoted from post at 20:58:29 11/13/14)(quoted from post at 21:13:50 10/28/14) Ideas, yes. Definitive answers no.

I went back and removed the hyd lift cover again (used a chain fall and the stud trick this time), PTO shaft, pump assembly and flushed it out with kerosene. I wiped up the remainder of the sediment with paper towels and flushed again.
Worked like a charm after that....until my left rear tire went flat _
