I have a hydraulic cylinder (a tilt cylinder from a 12k forklift)
that
is leaking. We took it apart and found that the rod is pitted on the
bottom and that probably tore up the seals.

So, my question is, what is the most economical option here, is
there
perhaps a CNC based company that custom makes such things?Any other
ideas?

Thanks

There are several small shops around here that rebuild hydraulics.
They don't advertise and I only found them by asking around. One which
I'd never noticed was on the way home from work. He had a sign out
front so people could find him, but no indication of what the business
was in his barn.

Another is my source of round steel cutoffs for making tools.
