[QUOTE="vinito, post: 97216, member: 12954"] I've been working on it whenever I find a minute. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel !! But I've caused myself a little problem. Everything is so dang clean and shiny now that an old rusty bolt sticks out like a sore thumb, so I feel the need to clean and paint all of them which is taking a bit of time with the waiting to dry and all. But I think it's worth it. Here's the last batch of stuff I've painted. It's everywhere.

The cylinders can be installed now. I have to take the hydrostats back off and haul them to work so I can check the charge pump pressure & adjust as necessary. That's not a big deal - it's pretty easy to slip them back out at this point. Then I can install them for permanent. Once they are in I can put the valve in, and once that's in I can measure carefully and figure out a good routing for the new hoses.
