Is the steering cylinder welded or threaded?

The one on the tractor is welded.
When I first started on the project, I jumped to the conclusion that is was the Ross Gear Power Steering unit. I done a ton of research until this week when Oak mentioned it might be the cylinder.
I have been doing some thinking about this. How do I determine if the problem lies in the Unit or the Cylinder.
So, with my limited experience with hydraulics, I got to thinking. If I raise the Front Axle off the ground with no front wheels touching, with the engine running, the Power Steering Unit ( if working properly ) should apply pressure to the Cylinder and hold the steering firm. If I can turn the wheels (L to R and vice versa), then I assume this means there is an internal leakage within the cylinder. Is my thought process correct ??
