Any idea what failed? Or it just quit working? Are you certain it just needs a cylinder?

It leaks must be worn out seals. Still works just leaks really bad. Man, those are expensive, and I've seen where you can't just replace the seals. Where to get one fairly cheap?

The Amazon ones actually work OK. The cylinder can be resealed as well, but it takes some pretty involved cutting and welding.

How did replacing the cylinder work out for you?

I replace a leaky steering cylinder on my JD430 late last fall with aftermarket one and it works well & the fit was good, but we will see in couple of years how well it survives real use?
