The cylinder number is stamped into the top of the cyl tube. Really clean the top of the tube & you'll find it. This is the number you need to know which packing is installed.

If memory is serving me right- the triple stage upright had a telescoping hoist cyl. If I'm correct, repacking is best left to a hydraulic shop- they're not a straight forward repacking job as a simple cylinder is.
