Need aftermarket bucket cylinder for a LA723 loader

Paul12210 · Oct 30, 2021

Does anyone know of an aftermarket hydraulic cylinder that will fit the Kubota LA723 FEL? I'd like to not have to spend $800+ for the OEM part. The part number is 7J267-64010 which appears to have been replaced by part #7J291-64010.

Have you thought about taking it to a hydraulic repair shop? Likely they can fix it, but if not, they can pull a replacement off the shelf and give you a price.

I stripped the nut off the shaft. Price for just that is 75% of the cost of a new cylinder. Thanks.

Put the nut on and weld it. What is there to loose? Second option a machinist could either weld up the treads and re thread it or re thread it a little bit smaller.

We welded it yesterday. It popped off the first time I tried to use it.
