Im lookin to replace 2 hydralic cylinders on the buck of my B219 loader and I was wondering what most replace them with. I looked at Kubota and they are salty. I think i can get a replacement thru NorthernTool much cheaper but is the quality the same? Just wondering if anyone ever done this.

Cope, I have a B219 loader on my B7100. I bought the FEL this spring and knew when I bought it I would have to overhaul and restore it. I looked into replacing the cylinders, but was concerned that I could not find good matches. I then ask my dealer for advice. He said they sent their cylinders to a local (60 miles away) hydraulic shop that would rebuild them. Mine had major pitting on the chromed piston rods. For about $110 each, the shop made new piston rods and replaced all of my seals. I reassembled the cylinders and replaced the hoses. I was very happy with the outcome. Good luck.
