10/26/2025 Status (8): The last item was to remove and start cleaning up the disc hydraulic cylinder. If anyone knows what brand this would be, please let me know. AI says they owned a company called "versahaul" which made the cylinders, but I didn't find any parts for those. The closest appearing end cap/gland/head I saw was for a bradco. There is some minor pitting in the barrel and on the rod, but the rubber O rings all look like new. There was only a very tiny amount of water that came out of the petcock. I ordered a new 10' hydraulic hose for it. The old one was 9'4" and consisted of two jointed sections, one 1/2" and one closest to the tractor 3/8" but with 1/2" NPT fittings. I'll probably buy a breather plug for it after I decide what I need. Hopefully the hydraulic shop will be able to identify it (but I have my doubts). In any case, they said they could likely get it going. The gland is broken at the very end where the retaining rings hold it in place. The inner retaining ring will be fine, but the outer one wouldn't really fit against anything. It isn't really clear that the inner ring isn't sufficient, though. I ran out of time to inspect this further. The gland is aluminum. It looks like it would be easy for a machine shop to duplicate or perhaps create a separate clip piece that can be attached.

The better one had a G78-15 tire on it which would have been sometime in the 1970s.
