Michael; I really doubt anything is wrong with the seals in the cylinder. Likely you have a faulty hydraulic coupler where the bucket curl hoses plug into your tractor that is letting hyd fluid flow in only one direction thru it. Best of luck. Frank. ....

I have looked at this several times. I am having trouble picturing the fittings.

If it is fittings going into the cylinders are they weld in? Is it a pipie fitting that is loose? Someone forgot to pipe dope it?
Or is it a seal where the cylinder rod slides in and out?
I have seen older tractor buckets on after market loaders where clearances were not good have broken nipples at the cylinders. ....
