1954 Yale Forklift

I recently purchased a vintage Yale forklift. It's in working condition other then i need to change a few hydraulic seals/packing. It's model # is KGP51AT-40U. Yale supposedly has a service/parts manual for it but it's internal to Yale and so far are refusing to give access to it.
So i need a few things Seals/packing kit for the main cylinder and also one of the tilt cylinders. Also i need an end cap for a tilt cylinder.
My question is any idea on who to contact about the parts i need? Have tried a few places but no luck so far......Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

Thanks, yeah Yale dealers have been no help apparently in Yale's wisdom they decided to recycle serial #'s at some point and my serial now comes back to a mid 90's truck. I did find a local hydraulic shop who said if i bring the cylinders in they will have the seals, just no idea on what seals would fit without having it. It appears there will be no easy fixes on this truck, everything will have to be custom done it looks like.

You should be able to contact your nearest Yale / Hyster dealer and talk to them Also, try TVH.com. You can call them during the week. I'm just not sure if anyone will have parts for a truck that old. Good luck in your search.

Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
