I'm sure a hydraulic shop can rebuild it for you.

New ones are NLA, but you can still find them. They are pricey, hang on to your a$$. Used ones go for too much as far as I'm concerned.

I did the cylinders on my FEL. Was pretty straighforward - the trick on the ones I had was removing and then re-installing a square wire retaining ring that held the caps on. (some might have to be cut open though, depends on your cylinder design)

The seals and orings I got from McMaster. The rods were in good shape with no scuffing (ultimately even chromed rod stock can be purchased but you would need to do the ends which would require some welding skill). But wasnt necessary for mine.

YMMV, but it was more straightforward than I feared. Do some searching and you will find some instructions and decide if its a DIY or not. If just seals and a retaining ring and DIY, might get it done for less than $20/$30.

Good luck!

The angle cylinders have to be cut open on a lathe.
Then rebuilt and welded back together.
Last on I had done cost $165
Parts were only $40 of that price
Remainder was shop & machine time.


FYI
NF hydraulic cyls you can rebuild your self as they all come apart easily.
Unless you need a new rod, they are pretty cheap to rebuild.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
