Hello,
Was out doing some spring preparation work and accidentally broke off the hydraulic hose fitting (nipple) on my bucket tilt cylinder.
At first I thought it was a threaded nipple into the cylinder, but it does not appear so. Upon further inspection the only threads are from the nipple to connect to the hose fitting.
The nipple itself broke off and after looking around am getting sticker shock from the retail cost of a new bucket tilt cylinder, part #AH210821.
Is this a job that a hydraulic repair shop can fix?
Things got busy here in a hurry, which is of course the worst time for a breakdown, so hoping some expertise here might save time and re$ource$ on the repair job.
Just seems hard to believe this cylinder is no good any more because an exposed hydraulic fitting got broken off.
Thank you in advance!
And here is a panned out view:
Finally, this is what it's supposed to look like (the other side):

- What are my options beyond a $700 new cylinder?
- Repair?
- Aftermarket?
