The pics are Wylie and I helping a neighbor do a precision lift of a pre assembled post and beam for his house entry way.
I did my second change of HST oil today and did something that made my life a easier (for a change). I suspect that others have figured this out but for those of you who are looking forward to their first change, try this. I drained the 38 quart sump by pulling the plug on one of the rear wheel gear sumps first. That controlled the drainage to what I could hold in all in my five gal drain pan. Then I pulled the main plug on the bottom and got another 3 or 4 gal out. The first time I did it, I made a mess of my hand/arm by putting the main drain plug back in to stop the flow before I overflowed the drain pan. This was much easier and I had no worries about a mess on the garage floor.
