Check these guys out to see if they have something close enough to work.

If not, you can rebuild the originals. Find seal kits and small machine shop to make new shafts for the pistions. Most of the old stuff is rebuildable.......new cyclinders are welded and not so easy to rebuild.

That's a darn good hoe. Is it an MF70 or MF80? Cylinders can probably be repaired.

It is an 80. Do you know how much it weighs? Thanks in advance...Larry

I thought it might be an 80 by the size of the front tires. I'll check but I think around 20,000 lbs with a 6500 rated capacity loader and Perkins 6-354 diesel. I think it's an 18 ft. hoe.
