Sorry Wayne County Hose.......I got a wild hair up.......I was about to pull the trigger on a new machine and trade the 770 in but the kid at JD misquoted me on a new tractor. Sound to good to be true and it was. I do have a couple guys looking at it this week and if she goes I got my eye on two used ones in NY. If she does not go this week I am going to invest in rebuilding all of my cylinders. I will start by taking one off and taking it to RJ Hydraulics to price up and if it is reasonable I will get them to do the rest. Your point was well taken about the shop rebuild and fluid pressure test. In the long run If I keep the tractor I will go over it with a fine tooth comb and keep her. PS while I was deciding to get rid of her.....I cut a new driveway in.....48 tons of material out and spread at the lower end of our property and 48 tons of 2A limestone in. The old girl worked flawlessly during the two long weekends.
