Thank you.

[@buzzsah]

O,sure, reminded me to fix ours. They are handy to have, enjoy.

[@homesteadprepper]

Thanks. Yep, nice to have when you need it for a project.

You can take Emory cloth and fix that cylinder where it doesn’t cause any issues down the road and chances are the seals will fail from hardening again before the cylinder hurts them

[@homesteadprepper]

Yes, the cylinder needs to fill with fluid. The hydraulic pump will make it happen.

I don't grease my dump trailer often but, when I do I use lithium red, stay greasy my friends. lol
