[QUOTE="fairmountvewe, post: 38869, member: 4641"] Jim; It is not that hard, just very uncomfortable. It took me a couple of hours from start to finish, but all we have for a work space is an un-heated drive shed, so the propane heater earned her keep believe me. Here is how I did it - 1) Lift the cab. I do not have cylinder stops for my machine yet, so I left the arms down. Some stuff may be easier to do with the arms raised (work on the gimbal end) but this wasn't an option for me. Good old fashioned contortionism for this kid. 2) Remove the hydraulic line at the top center of your pump. This will give you just enough room to fit your hand down to put the clevis pin through the valve shaft 3) preassemble the operating rod. I put the gimbal end all the way in and still ended up with about 3/8 in of threaded rod sticking out the clevis end to get the right distance after taking it apart about 3 times 4) Attach the gimbal end to the control handle.
