Do you also have the thumb that it is already set up for?Ok everyone, I got the Bucket cylinder and two new hoses back this morning. I I stalled it and changed the hydraulic filter at same time. I had previously drained tank and pulled strainer filter and checked that. Filled system and worked system slowly to get air out and warm fluid up and shut down and rechecked. Worked everything and seamed better. Loaded it on my trailer (that’s a fun thing for a beginner). Chained down and went to a friends house the had a beaver dam problem. It did a excellent job. I still think it’s a little weak on concern movements. I’ve got a gauge kit ordered. So I’m going to check pressures when that comes in. Pictures included after work was done. It’s a little dirty.

Starter won’t work. Just clicking. I read that these are a problem with the lugs wearing out. Pulled the starter off. Going to order rebuild kit for it. Do it myself.

Well I fixed the starter myself got it back on. I’ve been using it to cut ditches in the sides of my driveway. Pretty tough little machine. Got my gauge set in yesterday and reading the manual to where to check pressure and how to adjust. Just a little nervous about doing that part.
