I may have to contemplate replacing ALL the hoses on the mini hoe. . Bucket raised & line to bucket dump cylinder springs a leak. weight of the bucket emptied the cylinder via the leak. Tomorrow I'll mix up some degreaser.. Today I'm just over it... I did replace the hose with one I had to finish up the project. It's too long though will still need to replace it.

I know a lot about a lot of things BUT I still have a lot to learn.
Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.
