[QUOTE="wateka, post: 130930, member: 21519"] All good thoughts, thanks. Tazza - I've got the same scenario as yours - every square inch (or for you, cubic cm) of the hydraulic/hydrostatic system has been taken apart and cleaned/restored/replaced and all the hoses are new. So, other than assembly oil, there's nary a drop of hydraulic fluid in there, until last night's refill. I'll try lifting/lowering the arms with my gantry/chain hoist and put my iPhone on the reservoir tank fill port to video whether any bubbles materialize. FJRDarksider - I did think of the relief valve idea, but I've got new chains and bearings, so it was very hard to turn (granted, with the wheels off) even before I reattached the hydraulic system, so I didn't try that. The Isuzu engine has also just been overhauled, so I have to weigh those overhaul startup procedures as well, relative to the start/stop. Sun's coming up - we'll see what happens. [/QUOTE]
