I want to use a cylinder that was a 2 way(sorry it is a JD 2 1/2 RC1501) that was just rebuilt with my Farmall H. My Farmall H has only the Lift-All. I was wondering if I will do any harm to the Hydraulic cylinder because oil will be now on one side of the seals only. I know how to hook it up to the Farmall H Lift-All and know how to vent the cylinder to make it into a one way cylinder. I know that I can get an aftermarket valve or a "Remote Control"(If I can locate a good one) for two way operation. I was wondering, I should hook up the cylinder similar to how a #31 loader cylinder works (Down is by gravity but the other side of the cylinder is just used to store oil), it would still be one way but don't know if it would be too hard to compress the cylinder from the weight of a light implement. Would I then have to fill the Lift-All all of the way up with oil? I would probably have to take the dipstick out (Like for the #31 loader). Would I have to have a breather in the return? Or will one way be ok to the cylinder? Thanks!!

My dad used a John Deere double acting cylinder, venting one side. That cylinder has been in use as a single acting cylinder for over 40 years without any problem.

I've advertised the same way . As said below I can get more in parts .
What I call common tractors , Farmall C , H & M 's JD A & B's are hard to make any money on unless I part them . I have a 51 JD A I bought thinking I have the parts it need's . After I got it home I remembered that the parts I
need went in the last scrap roll off we sent out . Now I could offer it for sale needing a few things or I'll cut it . About the best I can do selling it whole is break even . Parting it with 4 hours work I can make money .

You'll be just fine using the cylinder with no oil on one side. The only time you might run into trouble is if you were lifting something that was maxing out your hydraulic pump, but even then, an H isn't that strong. Dad has some stuff that is set up one way and those cylinders seem just as good as 2 way ones. You might see some oil spurt out the breather hole every once in a while, but I wouldn't bet hat a 2 way doesn't have some oil sneak past the seals.
