I don't know what the hydraulic shops in your area are capable of.
A hydraulic shop that rebuilds cylinders should be able to match up the sealing parts. A complete shop should be able to make, or have made, the hard parts as well. And they can likely come up with cylinder to match if needed. You might end up replacing both tilt cylinders to get a matching pair of you go with the replacement route.

Does it need just sealing parts? Baum Hydraulics is another source that may be able to help you with sealing parts if you contact them with detailed measurements and photos.

What Jim said but, I think it will cost more than the dollar in the picture.

Thanks Jim--We have a hydraulic shop 30 mi. from us but it is usually cheaper to buy new. I took two cylinders to them off my Case 550C boom and it cost me $900 for them to put seal kits in them. I was hoping someone had a salvaged one I could buy the whole cylinder from for mine. The end has been broken off and welded. I took my chop saw and got it apart. Thanks again-sorry-can't spell FORKLIFT!!---Tee

A machine shop should be able to get the rod material and duplicate the rod, if that is all you need besides seals. I've had cylinder rods, that were NLA or had the gold plated price, made by a local shop. Then you can get the seals and rebuild it yourself.
