3 PT cememt mixer cylinder

[azrancher]

I don't know the brand of cement mixer, bought it from a company back in the mid 90's (Farm & Family?) now out of business.

I need a new seal for the dump cylinder, single acting cylinder, 1.75" in diameter, about 18" long has a stamped part number on it B-2-3-SAI07514.

Any suggestions?

edited to change SAIC to SAI0, apparently there is a SAI hydraulic cylinder company...

You can get the rod seal and the piston seal at a hyd supply shop. I use Hercules
Hydraulic online. Take out and measure them first.

If your mixer is like mine (Italian-made Mixer80), it has a low quality cylinder and
easily-bent rod. BTDT

Now you tell me about mixer 80, I just ordered a Cosmo BM 80 350, which is a 1/2 yard mixer...

I'll try Hercules for the seal part.

Yes I knew about the Agri supply parts, however what I have, which I bought 20 years ago is not the model they are currently selling.

And I bought the Cosmo 80 350 from (Temporarily blocked due to reports of company closure) and they get an A+ and 5 stars for service in the ordering department, saved me $90.00 on shipping by suggesting to ship to the terminal.

My older Mixer80 looks identical to the Cosmo 8cf mixer. That 12cf mixer is a bigger newer product.
It looks like the lower part of the drum is bigger, but the other parts may be the same.

My experience using my mixer numerous times over the past 15+ years is that the cyl it comes
with is not only wimpy and easy to bend, but it should also be double-acting as gravity is not
always enough to get it to go down.

I converted my cyl to DA first, then went hydraulic drive, and loader-mounted.
