    Where's the leak from? (Hydraulic Pump)

    Seals usually don‘t leak unless the shaft can move around. It’s likely the bearing behind the seal is also worn.

    The Descriptive Process

    When our fire dept bought our last Pierce engine we had to sign a waiver to get the max speed limiter increased. It’s pretty bad when you’re responding on the highway and can‘t keep up with regular traffic.

    If you haven’t noticed an increase in fuel prices until the war you must not be in business.

    I was refering to your continual attacks on university graduates. It shows you fear/ shame of your lack of higher education. The same way a dog attacks out of fear. But you knew that. Your comment was simply a way to ignore the facts about log buyers tally from a picture.

    None of those scalers made tally and grade from 100 ft away, let alone a photograph. Thats the ridiculousness of your posts.

    You’re leaking that hot air I referred to earlier. “Look like,” and “ if thats so”. Guesses. Like i said, you cant value a hardwood log without being next to it and rolling it over and seeing both ends.

    Triple or double axle dump trailer

    There are some very good manufacturers and there are some that make you wonder how they got a federal manufacturer license.
