better off to let a shop replace the seals as most use and require special tools

^^^^^

Everything looks and feels tight. It just leaks internally. Guess I'll do it this winter when I redo the swivel pin bushing.

Cool

Positively, the seals are leaking down. The fluid is still in the system, but the seals won't hold pressure. Usually when the motor is trailered on the ram only the seals will wear and start leaking. Had to re build mine twice, I agree let the shop do it. I wouldn't think of attempting that job myself.

Good luck...

Tommy
