I need a very specific hydraulic cylinder

This is a B8200, it's primary purpose is running a snowblower or pulling a 3pt finish mower. Currently there are no ends until I make something. My manual steering broke, it's $600+ to replace, and I'm not convinced it won't just break again.

I was trying to do that, but I'm unable to find a cylinder with 8" stroke that is shorter than 16". I'm sure cylinders can be shortened, but that's outside my scope of ability.

Here is a 3000 psi cylinder with a 8" stroke and a 14" retracted length: 1X8X.625 DA HYD CYL SWIVEL EYES

They have a few that could work: Surplus Center
