Unless you are really familiar with the unit and its needs, I'd be reluctant to recommend you rebuild it yourself. Buy the Kanter rebuilt or have yours rebuilt by Ed Strain, Ross Miller, or someone of that caliber. They were all made by Bendix and the unit trade name was "TreadleVac", perhaps that's the word you see starting with a "T". What is of some importance is the stamping on the end of the hydraulic unit, "P-#" which differentiates the different units built for Packard between 1952 and 1956.
