Well after a bunch of things going on around here, I finally got around to putting the steering cyl on. Wasn't as easy for me as I have read on here. 1st had a lot of trouble getting out the tapered ends on the cyl. 2nd wasn't as easy to try and spin the cyl and thred the hose onto the one end that didn't have a swivel coupling. 3rd the tapered end on the shaft side that I found out after beating my head that it would not go thru long enough to start the nut. after taking it out and using a micrometer the shaft was over size of the old one for some reason. So, I had to drill out the steering end of the assembly to get it a little bigger to get the tapered end out far enough to thread the nut on. Not gonna do this again if it leaks let-er leak I will just keep putting oil in. But I will Thank everyone for their advice. THANKS

Glad you got it done. Strange that the one end would not fit.

You didn't say if you have it working or not.

Oh yes it works I just had to open up the hole on the right side where the tapered shaft of the steering cyl goes thru that has the nut on it. Prob made in china is why it was a little bigger than the left side. But it works fine now.
