My tilt cylinder is leaking. It’s not one of the hydraulic hoses. I see there are kits to rebuild the seals with doesn’t look too bad except for one hard seal that either requires a special $400 tool or heating up to get on. Anyone done this? What’s the dealer likely to charge me to do it?
Tilt cylinder leaking BX23 LA210-1

Couple years ago I had the tilt cylinders on my B2 910 rebuilt by hydraulic shop in Pittsburgh. I dropped them off and picked them up a week later, and it cost me $100 each. I thought it was a fair deal, since if I bought the seal kits from Kubota it would’ve cost something like $60 per cylinder. It’s an option you might want to consider.
You could replace the cylinder with a brand new one for $150.

Are you saying this link, which is only $129, including shipping, is an exact fit for my LA-210-1 bucket? They do appear to be my measurements, except I’m getting the outside diameter of the cylinder, at 2 5/8, and not measuring the inside diameter.
All I had was the bore and stroke on the OEM cylinder.. Whats the pin diameter on the OEM cylinder?
It does not have to be an "exact" match. It just needs to have the proper length and fit the mounting tabs on the loader.

I suspect thats the rod not the pins. The pins hold the cylinder to the frame on the loader

Thats some hefty pins on a little loader like that. This is what Messicks is showing. Looks like maybe a bit over 1". In any event, hard to match. Most off the shelf cylinders are going to be 1".
