I have to agree w/Don, on the dealer/aftermarker option. many of the hyd repair shops have what you will need. Also, there might be availibility issuse (from the dealer) due to the age of the unit, and, not all of the accessories (hyd cyls etc) were made by the particular tracftor mfg. So the seals that you seek could have been made elsewere.
To fill that market, other seal design as well as improved design became available. So, by shopping elsewere, you can find replacement parts at a much less cost!
John in La, poster to me a link to an "online" supplier that he deals with, He gave them very high remarks. I don't have that link anymore, but, I gained new knowledge on this seal business just by reading up on it. BTW,
1) I ordered up the seals for my CASE backhoe from an aftermarket dealer, they were from "bulldog" about $35 per cyl.
2) the Ford "quad" rings (8 rings), from the dealer were over $80 and not in stock, plus order time, plus delivery, plus driving 40 miles one way, aand back, and you better not mess one up! At the local shop..... .under $10! and walked out the door w/them in my pocket!!!!! !!!!
3) when I replaced the seals in the control valves on my CASE, I went to the same hyd shop and picked them up there. about $25!
Best of luck to ya!!!!!
