I dont know what loader you have or who made the cylinders. I can tell you that "most" of the cylinders use a CHEVRON ( VEE) type packing with an adjustable nut on top to tighten. You should be able to see the "NUT" or hex at the end of the cylinder tube.

Here is a discussion about packing and buying aftermarket instead of from AGCO.. You need to measure the ID and OD of the packing you needd if you want to go that way. Pictures go with the discussion.. lots of good info.
