JD350 boom cylinder overhaul

[zebqup]

The 350B boom cylinder on my JD 350B is puking oil at an unexceptional rate. The good news is that it is killing notorious weeds around my barn and sealing the deck of my equipment trailer but the bad news is I have to keep replenishing the hydraulic tank with costly fluid.

First off I am a one man operation. That looks like a 2 man cylinder. Can it be resealed on the machine? I am thinking of lifting and blocking the bucket less boom and sliding the ram off for repair. I don't want to give away my age but things have got'en a lot heaver in the last 40 years.

sounds like a plan to me, if you have an engine hoist and a good ratchet come along that would helpfull have done many still attached to machine makes a good vise just Jd seals are not real pricy for that old stuff
