You might want to reconsider repositioning of the add on hyd filter that appears to be be Hanging on the side of the main resevoir with a pipe fitting .... I believe mounting it on the X frame behind it would be a much better choise . yes it will hav e to be replummed . those things are heavy when filled with oil. [Reply]  [No Email]

I fabricated the plate for the new engine oil filter today, put the muffler on, and installed the diode for the alternator circuit. [Reply]  [No Email]

I am tired of getting on/off to start it. There are a few leaks to correct. The lift cylinder is stuck tight, that is my next challenge so I can get the 3pt working. [Reply]  [No Email]
