Thanks Edk. I find that internet searches work better when you know what the folks selling the stuff call it. Nomenclature is the whole thing sometimes and us rednecks don't hardly know none at all. Looks like Rustoleum has the closest to the original green color. Now when I put in hammered finish paint I get results. Not sure if I should bother rebuilding the thing, their is some pitting on the shaft I don't have any cylinders to bore. I discovered the hydraulic cylinder is one that cannot be serviced, made by Bimba, and is not in their catalog. I am sure it says on the side model 099-DX. I took out the cylinder and unplugged the bottom fitting and when I pressed down on the cylinder old thick putrid oil came out like pus from a sore.

So I went back to Bimba and using their utility and built a cylinder by inputting the bore, stroke, and mounting style. I get a 099-DX part number for the cylinder. Of course that cylinder is a slightly larger bore than the one I have. I guess they must have changed things a little over the past 35 years.
