    Used BendPak LR-60 shoots hydraulic fluid

    Depends how bad the cylinder is, sometimes you can get away with a re-seal. Maybe take the ram to a o-ring place and see if they can spec new seals for you. Around my area we have a place that deals with o-rings and I have taken rams to them to get new o-rings.
