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?

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
