Looking for a seal kit for my Kubota M4050 power steering cylinder. They also call it a booster. I have tried Messicks and they do not list anything.

@Whitetail Hunter Welcome to the forum.
From part numbers looks to be the same booster used on other older Kubotas like the M4500DT so a few people including me would be interested in how you solve this. 2 thoughts:
1. Someone else at OTT posted that they overhauled one almost certainly like yours in the last few months I think, may be this year. Shouldn't be too hard to shake the tree and get them to let you know what they did.
2. Would you be willing to write up the job you do on it, including seal part numbers or sizes?

Sorry I just saw this. As of yet, I have not been able to shut the tractor down long enough to pull it apart. Once I do, I will forward seal numbers, etc. I have just been adding fluid ever so often.
Its just an old school hydraulic assist cylinder/valve. Hydraulic shops see these things all the time. .Take it off, drop it off, and put it back on.
Messicks lists all the seals individually. I don't see anything special about them - orings, u-cups, and backup rings. As usual Kubota prices are insanely high - e.g. $9 for a $.05 o-ring.
