I dont care about the cost of the oil... O care about where the old oil will end up with a blowout.
Like in the creek. Brrrr... kills me to even think about.
I gave the thing a good checking... only 2 of the hoses going out of the controller are one size bigger than the others that look like 1/2". All the offending hoses are actually only about 4" long. Both boom cyl ports are on the bottom end, looks like the hardest part will be getting those off. The others seem within reach. (famous last words eh?)
Am I correct in assuming that with those 2 boom hoses, that are only slightly larger diameter than the rest, it would do no harm in reducing the fittings down to 1/2" hose if that was significantly cheaper to do?
If it makes a difference, I never dig holes with the thing, what I mostly do with the hoe is break up compost piles and clean out clogs and jambs in the creek bed....stuff that takes little effort on the machines part to do. So speed and moving multiple parts of the hoe at once is almost never done. Its about as light a work as you can do.
Also the controller box is leaking in places.... Fro the parts list it seems to be just a bunch of O rings that require replacing. Does someone make repacking kits for these hoes or is it just a matter of.... find a O ring and wiper that best matches/fits and hope its the right ones?

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
