I leveled it pretty well and turned it on an off briefly with loose bolts so it would 'settle into place', then tightened everything down.  It was scary as he&& at first to run it.  I wasn't sure what was going to be coming out through those old hoses and fittings... I was wearing full face shield for protection as I peaked here and there, but it all stayed together well.  Only ran it for few minutes, but after checking for leaks I was able to move the boom up and down via one of the control valves. I then curled the bucket in and back out few times. All seems to be ok so far - no leaks tonight. Hope same in the morning - I'm thrilled to have done this simple test - at least I know s o m e t h i n g works on this old girl.</p></blockquote><p></p>
