A price increase for a local (delayed) contruction project (new bridge across the Columbia River) was announced that the reason for such a large increase form the original estimate was the 51% increase due to inflation over the last 3 years.
Especially steel and labor.

Loader arms used to scoop up loose dirt and gravel aren't subjected to the same forces as a backhoe bucket digging in compacted soil and tree roots.

These leaks are most likely due to age, it originally came from a gov. auction and appears to have not been used much.

Bucket cylinder is re-packed and backhoe is back together, while I was picking up the seals for the bucket cylinder I grabbed a set for the boom as well (the dipper and boom use the same seals). Figured I'd be ready for when the boom finally let's go.

I'm sure the swing cylinders are not far behind and I'll have to replace the rod on one of them. So I guess I'll have to get some chrome rod to have on hand when the time comes.

Also noticed one of the tilt cylinders on the forklift is damp. I guess I'll have to add that to the list.
