OK update.....This is for you Wayne County Hose.....I bit and took the backhoe off and took the three cylinders off the boom and dipper stick. The cost for a bench rebuild for parts and labor was $ 68.00 including tax apiece. But the best was I got to tear down the backhoe and inspect all of the working components. The pins were in good shape but I will replace a couple....a couple of grease zerks.....but the big surprise was the condition of the hoses!
I found three that were worn down to the braiding and rusting through! Yikes
But all is not lost a hose maker within six miles. So all in all when done and cleaned up a nice little repair project done by a guy that normally does not spin a wrench for a living.
PS. The stabilizer cylinders are OK...got a sway one leaking but that one for another day...dirt is calling.
