    Zetor hydraulics HELP!

    My father has a 2003 4341 and the hydraulic on the frontend loader broke -- one of the two that drives his bucket. He's 88 and needs this for winter. The machine shop said they could not fix it as it was bent and scared the cylinder too bad so I need a new one. Where do you find these parts?
