Was around 80's idi Fords a bunch, 6.9 and 7.3
Good engines for teens as they had no power. The F350 we used had the 6.9, it was a dually with dump bed. When loaded and towing hay wagons it could barely get up to speed. When empty it could barely do the speed limit. They also had a newer F350 with a 7.3 L non turbo in it, 4wd and quite tall, their son used to drive it.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
