The tilt on those old machines consisted of the tilt cylinder, hose reel, and the control valve with a lever on it, no solenoids. If that is an original reel the swivel pulls right off and the sealing rings are right in there. Remove the snap ring or bolt that holds it on and take it off. There is no need to remove or disassemble the reel. There are 3 square shaped "O" rings in that outer swivel piece, Raymond # 530-665, and they are available. Make sure you are working on the reel for tilt, the forks are tilted down, and you have a drip pan ready to catch some oil. Should be 15 minutes labor and $20 for the special "quad" rings. $2100 !! What is this world coming to.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
