If the 648 steer cylinder is like the 6018 then when you rebuild it, replace the nut on the end of the rod that holds the piston assy together in the cylinder.

A hydraulic shop should have O-rings and seals. @myerslawnandgarden Bob is our resident dealer here and may chime in. His online store is casegardentractorparts.com :thumbsup: There is also Brian fr...

The last few days I’ve been “digging air” with the 648 to get a better feel for it. The advice you guys gave me was on the money!
