[AT] MF35D lift

[Steve Offiler]

Wow!  Decisions!

 I wouldn’t know how to handle 3 separate locations.  

Whatever the next project, it sounds like you could keep this list alive almost solo!

Merry Christmas!

Previous owner told me it was valve issue, but I checked the pump and did not get much pressure until the discharge was choked down significantly. Not finding any pumps for sale yet, which is where I think I need to start on the hydraulics.
