I recently had one of the lift cylinders blow a seal. It also scored the shaft almost the entire length. One repair shop quoted me $360 for a new shaft plus the rebuild kit and labor. I wouldn't do just the one side. Anyway I have searched for replacement cylinders that would fit my machine and can get close but not exact without going to Kubota. I have found cylinders with slightly larger bores and shafts, which I am thinking would be better, but the collapsed length is 1in less than my cylinders. my thoughts are that it wouldn't lift as high as the original cylinders and when the loader is in the down or rest position the cylinder wouldn't be completely collapsed. Am I missing something here ?
