Best if you focus on removal and leave the rebuilding to a local independent hydraulics shop.

You may also find that bushings where the cylinder pivots need replacement

Thank you very much for getting back with me. I need to do as much as I can myself. If you do not mind, from this picture, where is the Cyclinder?

The Cyl is going crossways in the picture. Looking at that left hand pin, it also looks like you should have new bushings. Also the Kubota workshop manuals are great assets and really cost very little compared to the information in them. They just download as a pdf file. The first thing I would do is clean the area and verify that the leak is actually coming from the cyl and not from that hose, that also looks to be in poor condition. Hope this helps.

Before you do any cleaning, examine the area for a spot that has been washed clean of dirt by oil. That will be a good indication of where the leak or leaks are.

WOW!!! Thank you! The color coding was SO helpful! I am searching for a manual. They are so expensive! Any suggestions on where to buy a service manual where the site is ligament?
I took my dealers service guy a blank USB stick and he gave me the workshop manual on it.

I prefer paper copies my self, but I often photo copy the page(s) I need at the moment.
Typically ebay or messicks for sourcing them.

This is a similar setup as my L35. Not exactly, but uses the large pins and bushings and keepers.
The good and bad is that yours is all covered in oil. Mine was rusted in place.
I had to use a lot of heating and beating to get the pins out. I hope yours is easier.
Do check the the pins and bushings and tie rods for excess play while in there and also the hydraulic lines.
It might get a bit expensive, but it's worth it.
Having a press is a lifesaver for the bushings.
My cylinder isn't made any longer. It was leaking and the rod was rusted.
The local hydraulic shop took it apart, brazed the rod and replaced the internals.
Best of luck to you.

I prefer the paper myself. I just print off the section I need from the cd with my 20 yr old Brother laser printer. That way if (when) you get it dirty you can just toss it.
