Thank you received: 24

it should be in the tank but check the parts and service books for the hydraulic unit. it may involve removing the front cover of the hydro unit if its similar to the type 44. this will mean a new gasket and fresh oil which i would be changing anyway as it has bits of metal and other ($#%&) stuff in it why use dirty oil and stuff the new parts.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
