More progress today. Its amazing how long stuff takes.

Hydraulic tank is cleaned,

Piping for the hydraulics was updated so its easier to service. I installed a union..

Cleaned and polished the oil level sight glass.

I then put new hydraulic fluid in after running it thru a special hydraulic fluid conditioner.

The manual said it takes 50gal of hydraulic fluid.

I put in 60gal and it still needs 10gal more.

Moving onwards.. Yeah!!!! I emptied the hydraulic tank to find the suction strainer all gunked up.

I blew it out into a box with paper towel in the bottom to collect all the debris.. No metal in it so thats good.

Now that it's clean I can clean the tank and put in new hydraulic oil knowing it's in good shape..

for some reason when I took the nut off it completely skooched the pooch..

I had to throw the rod in the Southbend 13" and recut the galled threads..

New nut thread check and it was all clear sailing after that.

Please enjoy.. It was really fun, and Francis is a great podcaster..

Pulled the tire and blocked the cylinder up some for clearance, have it ready for gland nut removal.

Be sure to remove the set screw or you will ruin all the threads as you take it apart.

Getting this cylinder repacked will stop the machine from tilting on its own while being used.

After this is a lift cylinder that the gland nut is exactly the same diameter.

Pin spanner finished.  I hope its strong enough.
