I need to pull apart the hydraulic cylinder assembly on my MX5400 and the service manual calls for TB1206C during assembly. I can't seem to find that anywhere. What's a good equivalent?
ThreeBond 1206c Equivalent

That's showing it's for 1207B, is that similar enough? I would have expected something like 1206D be closer?

Three Bond does not list 1206 as a current oroduct. The 1200 series are all silicone RTVs of one sort or another. I doubt it much matters ad long as its resistant to hydraulic oil.

That kinda explains why I can find $200 tubes from Japan, but nothing reasonably priced or available in the US. I had a feeling it was discontinued or something like that.
If that's the case, would Permatex Ultra Black be a close enough substitute? I have already have a new tube of that.
Also, thank you. I don't have much grasp on sealents and how to understand the specs I was able to find. Breaking it down as a silicone RTV helped a lot.

Thats a tough question to answer. I would look at the data sheet for the Ultra and see if it matched the application

I'd stay withe a ThreerBond 1207. About $25. The sad partis you use so little and the tube, once opened, like caulk, goes bad in time.
When using, less is more, just a tiny bead as it squishes. Perfect amount barely squeezes out the seams.
