It was only until recently that I figured out that most of these jobs I could do myself. I work as a mechanic & I repair a lot of these type things these days. I feel so fortunate that these parts are even available to us. The hydraulic repair shops around here sell these repair jobs for well over a grand per pump / cylinder. Valves are usually less, but I have hear a bunch of mess about how expensive the PARTS are. I spent $1200 on TWO (2) autocrane cylinders that were both leaking on the wiper seals. IF they were not a CRANE, I would have done those myself, but with cranes come certifications to use them on the naval bases / army posts that I go to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
