1. Yes, it does have a reservoir tank so that makes things a little easier.
2. The cylinder has been changed and it now has an "ag" type truss rod cylinder and it appears to be a little small on the diameter. The original cylinder would likely have been about 7" dia.
3. The hose coming from the top of the cylinder is a return line and a way for air to escape.
4. Your PTO is leaking badly but it is very easy to replace the 6 bolt gasket to the transmission. Just be sure to replace with the same thickness to maintain gear clearances. Gaskets are available in many thicknesses.
5. The grease zirks won't tell you about the phase of the u-joints but if the yokes are the same "clocking" then your OK.
Your transmission oil level is sure to be low and dirty. I'd change it while I had things apart.
Hope this is of some help and encouragement. | | |
