Does anyone know how to replace the large (3") seal on the RAM hydraulic cylinder that raises the left link? This cylinder has only a single fluid input hose and uses the weight of the tool to lower the 3-point hitch. Any special tools or tactics needed?

No special tools needed, remove from tractor, remove hose fitting, slide snapring to groved space on the end of ram through fitting hole, pull out ram...

That snap ring can cause some frustration but you can do it. Patience is a virtue.
