I contacted Force America using this page:Link to find out if they had a kit for the char lynn torque generator unit I have. On the body of the unit, mine says MOD S 101 (P or F) can"t tell for sure. Told them it was on a SMTA. They e-mailed back and they have the kit. It is kit or part # 21122-000. The cost for the kit was $20.72. UPS shipping was about $10 on top of that, so it was about $30 all together. To order the seal kit, I called 1-888-99FORCE which is 1888-993-6723 and asked for Parts. Paid with a credit card. They are located at 501 East Cliff Rd., Burnsville, MN 55337. The kit is a Char-LYnn, Eaton kit and has 9 seals in it. There are 4 large seals in the kit for the unit body on newer units. I did not need these 4 large seals because the older units did not need them. I put 3 in the unit (both shaft ends and 1 as a body seal where it bolts up) and then there are 2 little ones that are for where the hoses attach. It will use 5 of the 9 seals in the kit. It is fairly easy to do, however the little allan bolts were very tight on it. I score a couple of lines in the paint across the body to make sure I could line everything back up right when I put it back together. Did this on both ends. The shaft seals that I took out of it where not the right ones for the unit which is why it leaked, no doubt. The kit has directions with a diagram of the entire unit and provides clear information about where each seal goes. The kit instructions say for No. 21122, Buna N (I don"t know what Buna N means. The instructions say the kit is from at Eaton Corporation, Hydraulics Division, 15151 Highway 5, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, telephone is 612-937-9800. Hopefully, I have it all together right and I"ll put it back in the M today. It will sure be nice to have that leak stopped. I am going to clean all of the old fluid off the engine with some degreaser. That leaking has really bothered me for years and I always had to add power steering fluid. To add fluid, the hood had to come off.
