d12 series 2 trip dump bucket hyd leak

jasong92 · Oct 17, 2011

I just bought my granfather's mid 60's d12 series 2. It has a non OEM trip bucket/lift arm system on it made by Freeman Industries, Inc. originally out of Peru, Ind. Both of the lift pistons are leaking from the external seal (most likely from years of sitting/non use), does anyone know where I can find more information on these so I can order cylinder rebuild kits? Thanks.

Check with industrial hydraulic shops in your area.

Martin Fluid Power, is one of the countrys
largest manufacturers and sellers of hydraulic
sealing products. They've got over a Thousand
kits for various brands of cylinders, in stock!
try their website: www.mfpseals.com and look up
your brand...bare in mind that your loader brand
may not have made the cylinders, but probably
outsourced them to a dedicated cylinder mfr.
If you take your cylinders apart, and measure
correctly, MFP has thousands of seals, in many
Hundreds of styles..and if you're not sure, then
you're better off going to a professional
hydraulic shop. (you are expected to KNOW what
you are ordering, and if you order incorrectly
they are sometimes reluctant to do a return!)
