Just a suggestion, contact a farm equipment repair (hopefully independent and not a major brand, ie John Deere, New Holland et to see if they have parts to fix older cylinders if their stuff is too small, may have to Contact earth construction equipment. to find the shop that has experience with your size & load rated cylinders. Obviously the mfg doesn't maintain parts for their pieces on some of the systems that are failing. So if some aftermarket supplier didn't tool up parts then replacement is only choice, Newer fluids, especially for older or high mileage hydraulic systems have conditioners in the oil to help soften the seals and recondition them. New clean, thinner fluid can also cause leaks so no clear direction when to do maintenance. Also had anyone asked Big Foot who supplied (vendor) the original seals or did they buy cylinders from a supplier themselves/
