Based on the ones I"ve built, $40 is cheap for all of the seals, be it as a set or in individual parts. In fact the last set I bought was for the tilt cylinders on a Case loader and they ran nearly $100 per kit.
As far as ordering a kit, I usually just get mine from the dealer, unless it"s something odd, or there happens to be an aftermarket source. As a "middle man" I still don"t mark up parts simply because I"m not in the resale business. Still I have to charge for my time finding and picking them up, so even if the mfg is $20 or so more than aftermarket, etc, it"s still usually cheaper on the customer for me to get the OEM parts and not have to spend extra time hunting for what I need.
As far as aftermarket, one good source is Bulldog hydraulics. Click on the link below and then on their hydraulic catalog for a 700 plus pages of seal kits for different models and brands of mahcines. Depending on what you have as to whether they would have a kit or not. If not then your pretty much stuck either going back to the mfg, or getting all the parts individually. In that case your best bet would be Hercules hydraulics. I believe, from what I"ve seen, that Bulldog is a division of Hercules that sells just the kits, but I know the individual parts are available from Hercules.
If you get the parts individually, you need to figure out the ID, OD, thickness, and design of each seal. Like I said in the first post, there can be multiple sizes of each design when it comes to thickness, etc, so it"s vital that you know exactly what you"ve got before placing an order.
If you run into any problems post back and I"ll be glad to help out any way I can.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
