Prety much nailed it. At least I am working ont he Cushman on company
time...But you can add a fork truck to that list. I just had the lifting
cyl overhauled. I tried to pull it apart but It got to a point I did not
want to pull any harder.

I gave it to a professional cyl shop who chained it to 2 fork
trucks.....and broke the end off...... But they got it repaired in the
end.

It never ends. Just ask Ohio Larry....
