I learn all the time Dan, but I don't come here to be spoon fed. I solve my own problems and learn by doing that. This is basic stuff but you've worked hard to give the impression that no one will find an answer without your help. No doubt you told the surgeon how to install your new lungs.
My number 1 rule for online forums is try to be nice to everyone and dont engage in juvinle personal attacks.even when provoked..
Hydraulics here is mostly basic stuff and I do this to help people that dont understand the basics let alone the arcane bits. I dont need to build my reputation by posting on a tractor forum. I am an arrogant SOB with a substantial ego that needs no additional reinforcement..
In the last 4 years I have helped
hundreds of people diagnose and repair their hydraulic problems. Some were simple, some were real bears to identify and correct. I do it because I like helping/educating people and enjoy the intellectual hunt and kill. I also learn new things in the process.
But it takes up an immense amount of my time. Why dont you take over the hydraulics help desk starting right here and I will watch and kibitz from the sidelines.
