Relatively easy repair. Variety of places, I would think this site, CNH, Messicks and many other places these can be sourced.
If you think the hydraulic compartment should have an oil change, then drain the oil and I should know this, but I am not sure going from memory about a filter on these. I have a much newer version, 4630, it has a large filter under the foot rest.
You have to disconnect linkages, so you can slide the seal out once carefully pried up and out of the hole. Likely that you have to remove the foot rest.
Been a year since I have done these. I went to the hardware store and bought a pair of chisel end like scrapers that have a bend at the heel of each, like a crow bar. I tapped one under the existing seal on either side and literally pried it out. Do use care at the mating surface, you do not want to gouge that. I slide the old seals down the rod, along with whatever else came with it, small star like thin retainer ring comes to mind. I was careful with those and they were easily re-used. I made sure to clean the mating surface and surrounding area(did that before the repair was started) and then carefully tapped the new seal in place.
If you don't need to change the hydraulic oil, then you can situate the tractor with the front end up, and or drain some of the fluid, there's 10-11 gallons in there, and you may want to remove the filler cap to displace any pressure. When I opened mine up, it blasted out a little, but I had a deflector shield to divert the oil to the pan.
Service manual covers the repair, it's well worth doing as a leak here is very annoying, mine leaked for 2 years before I got to a complete and full service of the tractor.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web.
