Today I replaced the two short hydraulic cables near the base controls -- the ones that pass through the removable steel cover.
I bought them at Voorhies hose room on St. Peter St. for $14.80 each ($32.12 with tax). They are made to order. It took about five minutes. The technician at Voorhies gave me advice on bleeding the air from the lines. Said the best place (if you don't know where the air is) is at the point where the oil is returned to the reservoir.
I also replaced the oil filter. It is a NAPA Gold 1259 filter. Same as the old one. ($9.64).
Also bought a gallon of hydraulic oil ($7.99), and placed one quart in the new filter. And bought a filter wrench ($8.49).
The Cylinder is still in the shop. They told me they started work on it today.
Total spent today: $ 60.46
