Picked up my new farm truck tonight.
$1500 1985 C30 chevy with dump bed and plow.
(crappy pic from tonight)
The dump bed doesnt go up all the way. im assuming it needs oil.
I dropped Eddie a pm, hear was his response.
My pump is intergrated into the base of the cylinder. so there are no hoses. there is a pto saft that runs to it from "under the cab" (ill take a pic in the morning)
there is a large bung hole plug on the top end of the cylinder. i assume thats were you fill.
you fill with it compleatly up? with it down?
will my FEL on my tractor lift the bed past the point the pump takes it?

On mine, there is the pump that is connected to my PTO shaft. Probably the same with yours. Then there is a high preasure hose from the pump that goes to the cylinder.
Behind my cylinder, there is another hose that goes back to the pump. This is my resevoir. When the piston moves under preasure, it also forces the fluid on the other side of the piston in and out through the low preasure hose to the pump.
If yours is similar, then there is a screw on the top of the cylinder. Mine looks like a giant philips head, but it's big enough that I can take it off with a large flat blade screwdriver. I do this with the bed up.
