    where to buy cylinder repair kits

    The drop collects at the yellow arrow. Left the arms up for a couple of days and when I came back it was lowered and there were 2 drops instead. Had wiped the entire cylinder down before raising to make sure that was the only spot.

    where to buy cylinder repair kits

    Stopped into a couple of shops with pics and part number (LA240) but not the tractor. $300 each at one place and $325 each at another. After looking at the Kubota repair kits, I was wondering if they underbid the job and would come back with a higher price. Kubota dealer quoted $1,378.89 for...

    where to buy cylinder repair kits
