Kubota l4100 with a LA680 loader. Cylinder Part # 75556-63110 . Tried to have it rebuilt but there's an issue with the rod. Messicks price is just under $800. Anyone have any suggestions...aftermarket....used. Hate to drop $800 on 1 cylinder.

Find another rebuild shop! A good shop can make a new rod at a reasonable cost, I'd think.

What is the issue with the rod? I've had rods with a bend in them straightened and used for years. Had rods with small bits of rust in surface polished and still using after many years.

Get a bid on fixing what you have and compare it to new.

The quote to repair the current one is $500-600. vs new one around $800. Sounds like the rod is rusted.

If the rod is rusted, can you recondition it yourself? Steel wool and a bit of time may be all you need. That may be expensive in a shop because their time is expensive, where your time may be mostly free.

Something that will take rust off of chrome is aluminum foil waded up in a ball tightly and simply rubbed on the rusted area!

This does work, also dribble some coke cola while rubbing. Vinegar may do also as it's an acid.
