My 541 bucker cylinder died on me. I found an exact replacement cylinder(John Deere wanted $890) from Magister Hydraulics for $147 with free shipping!!! Ask for Jilvanny the sales manager and he will give you a better deal. My cylinder is perfect. Hope others will check them out. Mike Mount

so now I need to do the lift cyls..both of them...before hay season

Sounds like your luck is going like mine. Lol
I have found it cheaper to buy new cylinders from Magister Hydraulics than to pay the fee from John Deere for the rebuild kits. It took less than thirty minutes to change out the two bucket cylinders with new ones and they worked perfect. Deere wanted within ten dollars for a rebuild kit as I paid for a better built cylinder. Best of luck to you. We are in the middle of hay season right now trying to beat the rains.

Hello Mike Mount,
Do you happen to remember part number for the bucket cylinder that you got from Magister Hydraulics as replacement for the one John Deere sells for $890? I broke the thread end of the rod on one of my cylinders (AH228450 Hydraulic Cylinder) and will need to replace the cylinder and would like to use the Magister Hydraulics Cylinder. For the price I will replace both cylinders on my JD 5320 with the 541 loader. Thanks for any information you can give me. Larry Hatfield
