I have a 81 1900 Ford tractor and the tilt cylinder on the loader bucket is pouring oil , having a hard time finding these seals does anyone have any idea where I can find these I would really appreciate it.

if you cant find the seals, you could replace the cylinder prolly 200bones (if yer feelin lucky)

(well are yea?) unless you know the loader model # and can do a part number/measuring check then you can keep your old pitted cylinders (if yer feelin lucky)

I carry my cylinders to the local hydraulic shop for leak repair. They have always ordered the seals usually at a lower cost than i could at the dealer.

I appreciate it having a problem with finding this part

Hello Biggjohn welcome to YT! From what I find the most common factory loader on those tractors was a 771. Do you know if this is what you have? Here is the parts diagram for a 771. There were 3 different cylinders used for the tilt, I have no idea how to tell you which one you have. In the link they are shown in Diagrams 018, 019 and 020.

Often searching the part numbers you find can provide more cost effective options in comparison to the dealer price.

If you can identify the loader model and then the cylinder, you can call a place like Baum Hydraulics. They have some kits all put together, yours might be one they have.

As, for replacing the cylinder, If you can't find one that matches all dimensions you would need to replace both cylinders.

If you are not familiar with rebuilding cylinders and finding seals, taking it to a shop that rebuilds cylinders might be your best route. If they tear a seal putting it together they get another. You damage a seal putting it together finding and buying another is on you.

Ive had good luck at a local hydraulic shop. Took it apart and took seals and hard parts to then and they have always been able to match them with in stock seals. Big shop though, all they do is hydraulics. This is in Tulsa, not local local but only 25 miles. I think most larger cities would have similar shops.
