Mast packing seals for top 'nut'

I've got an early 70's S30A, SN# A010D14749Y, and the mast is leaking out the top pretty bad. I've taken the packing nut off and am trying find a replacement seal kit but not having much luck. I've been asked for the mast number and can't find it. Anyone else rebuild one of these and what part numbers did you use?

Update 9/9/2019 - I tool the top packing nut to a local hydraulic shop. They matched it with a seal kit there. I don't know the number unfortunately....

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
