Try Northern Hydraulics or Northern Equipment, whatever they call it now, in Burnsville, Minnesota. I've had good luck buying cylinders, pumps, filters, tanks, fittings, the whole bit. They also sell books on hydraulic troubleshooting and repair. I used them to buy everything needed to make a stand-alone high-volume hydraulic pump unit that has been working OK for ten years. They have an on-line ordering system that actually works, plus you can call toll-free. Strongly suggest you accurately measure everything about the cylinder you intend to replace, such as overall length when closed and extended, stroke length, clevis sizes and/or bolt pattern, hose fitting sizes, etc. Make sure you know the correct piston diameter. It would also be helpful if you had the Original Equipment Manufacturer serial numbers or any other codes available for the unit. That may help in cross-referencing. Some of this info is free for the asking at the manufacturer's website, etc. All this being said, the cylinders are heavy and shipping costs need to be figured in. Make sure you add this into your overall cost estimates, and compare what you can get at a local dealer. If the dealer is remotely close in price, then buy local. That way if there is a problem or you need advice, you are not totally on your own. Also consider checking with a local hydraulic service shop as far as available "generic" replacement cylinders. My experience with some AG equipment dealers is that their prices for certain items can be outrageous, just like auto dealers. As far as I can tell, the tractor manufacturers buy their hydraulic cylinders from other manufacturers anyway, so you may just be paying for the paint job.
If loader is a dual-cylinder setup, consider replacing both to insure equal function on both sides.
