I just started to rebuild my JD 2 1/2" RC 1501 Hydraulic cylinder ( The old one with the 2 depth stops on the outside). I stripped off the paint, washed it in the parts washer then disassembled it and now have some questions. I will be useing it for 1 way operation (one hose). Does the gasket near the 4 big bolts need any sealer (RTV or something) on it? That was where mine was leaking from but I decided to rebuild the whole thing. Is there a big o-ring that goes there (Mine had nothing). Does the gasket on the rod end need any sealer? Mine had 2 gaskets there, do they normally put a few gaskets on that side and over time, if there is a leak just remove one to make it tighter? My cylinder tube has some scoreing going in both directions, should I hone it? If so, should I use a flat type hone starting with coarse, then medimum then fine or should I use a ball type hone? Should I keep the cylinder lubricated with 30 wt non -det. hydraulic oil (The type I use in the hydraulic cylinder? Thanks!!!
