JD 265 loader

[loaderlau265]

We currently have a John Deere 4240S with a 265 loader. One of the hydraulic cylinders (AH150053) is leaking badly. We have had the cylinder rebuilt once, if not twice, so are thinking the rod is possibly scratched. I haven't been able to find a used cylinder anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Buying through JD is terribly expensive. Do you think it would be cheaper/better just to get a different loader?

Check with a local hydraulic shop to either rebuild and guarantee the cylinder or suggest an equivalent replacement. Either approach is probably better than John Deere's pricing and probably far less than a new loader.
