Default 2072 power steering

While using the 2072 today, I noticed hydraulic oil coming out of the top of the steering column just under the steering wheel. Obviously the shaft seal is leaking on the steering motor. I see that the seal kit is available from Cub for $114. In addition, there is a spring kit and a roller kit for another $7 and $14 respectively. I'm very comfortable working with hydraulics, having maintained aerial bucket trucks for the local power utility for the last 31 years. My questions - is there any cheaper source for the rebuild parts and any tips or suggestions from those of you who have had to rebuild one of these PS motors. Thanks! Stan
