The cylinder is a separate casting that is bolted to the underside of the tractor top cover but it's cast iron. I'm planning on putting phenolic wear rings on the piston on either side of the seal, so there shouldn't be any metal-to-metal contact in future. I'll see if the steel supplier has some leaded steel, if not I'll probably go with my fallback 4140, I seem to be able to get a reasonable finish on that stuff and the seal groove is going to have to be just so.
