Hi everyone.. I just picked up an oldie but a goodie - a 1975 Pettibone Mercury 80-GA forklift. It runs and everything appears to work, but the hose reel leaks and I’d like to freshen it up. So far I have not had any luck with any local suppliers getting any info or part numbers on a possible seal kit.. everybody just says to bring it in so they can take it apart and measure for seals. Well I don’t like to do things that way. I have a functioning lift now, and want to source a seal kit first, before I take it all apart. Does anyone here have any resources on how to find a seal kit or even just some seal sizes for this old beast? Thanks in advance, all!

Late looking at this. Are you still in need?
