Greetings! I'm fairly new to this forum so please bear with me. I have a Kubota B7610 HSD with an LA302-1 front loader. I suddenly noticed hydraulic fluid on the bucket when using it and saw that the shaft seal on the right is leaking. Is it more economical to rebuild it or just replace the cylinder? I don't have the capability to to the work on my own and would have to have a local shop or dealer do the work. I will definitely be talking to them but thought I would consult you knowledgeable folks here first.

Thank you in advance for any insight.

Unless the cylinder is damaged rebuild is a much better bet. ;)
