look in the yellow pages first for a local hydraulic shop, bearing houses and the like may give you a lead. the bobcat dealer of course would have parts and seals for it.

Even a machine shop could possibly straighten the bent stick too. Don't run it too long before getting it fixed. The more you use it, the more damage it will do to the gland nut then you will need to replace it.
I have repaired the a bent rod before, it took a little while with a press, but i got it pretty stright.

I went through the same thing recently. Lots of hydraulic shops can straighten a bent rod. The question is how bent is the rod? If you can still use the cylinder, it most likely can be straightened. Having the cylinder re-rodded is not all that expensive. My local hydraulic shop re-rods cylinders all the time, in addition to rebuilding all sorts of pumps.
