Wet day job.

35x made a bang noise and stopped lifting during the hay campaign. Had a look in for the first time in 58 years, relief valve stuck and had burst the lift ram, bit of wear to say the least. Just replaced everything on the way out should do for another few decades.

Bet she was lifting well though with stuck valve

Your right, she was. My fault really as lifting had gotten really bad/slow so I pulled the stack pipe and replaced the seals, made a great transformation lifted perfectly but the relief valve must have been stuck with lack of use, that coupled with a fresh fill of HC oil made her poop her pants after about an hours work. Could have been worse, could have cracked the lid. Cheap motoring, a full refurb and rebuild of the hydraulics/linkage cost less than what it takes to service some of the modern ones in the yard.
