Hi Fred,

My hydraulics problem is now resolved with the replacement of the right
retract with a new one.

I have question for you thou.  When you did your cylinder repair, was there
a new seal for the center rod included in the repair kit?  I replaced all
the O rings that were included in the rebuild kit but that made absolutely
no difference in the behavior of the old cylinder.  A leak persisted from
the low pressure side only.  There was no replacement for the seal on the
end of the center rod.  I suspect that the center rod seal is the culprit
but am not sure.  Anyway, I gave up on the rebuild and installed the new
cylinder that I bought which required a change in the length of my UP stop.
Everything is OK now but I still puzzled by the unsuccessful rebuild.
