After market replacement cylinders for JD 300 class loaders

[mkr7734]

Is there anyone out there that makes replacement cylinders for John Deere 300 class loaders?
John Deere is awful proud of theirs at over $600 each.
Tks,

Might contact a local hydraulic repair shop. If JD did not make the cylinders a unique size you should be able to find a suitable replacement.
Is the cylinder beyond rebuilding?

Mine are fine, I just want to up-grade from 300 cylinders to 300X cylinders for more lift and can't see spending $1.200 to do it. Or afford it.

How much more lift would you get? Might consider upping the pressure with shims on the relief valves to increase lift with the current cylinders.

The 300X cylinders would give 620# lift more at full height and 1,104# lift at ground level. Could not get close to that by pumping up the pressure and who knows what else might happen or blow?
