So grab your leaky cylinders, drive a bit north, and we'll have a cylinder cap busting party. Or maybe just a bunch of busted caps. Could be fun either way.

You're obviously working by yourself, too. It's nice, I think, but in a case like this the extra hands could come in handy. So to speak.

It's easy enough to make a wrench, or wrenches, but as you mentioned peakbagger, sometimes it still takes "all of the above".

You can always try a pipe wrench, but I consider that a last resort. As in "Good thing I have a spare cap, so ruining this one is no big deal". Come to think of it, a chain wrench might work and not leave the cap quite as badly scarred.

I made a feeble attempt on one cylinder some time back...and failed. Since getting the rod separated from the piston can be harder yet, I sense a trip to the local hydraulic shop coming up. I think there are three cylinders on the HMMH's crane alone that needs help. With the lack of a real...

I'd change the fluid, regardless of what's in there, if you haven't already. And like tennmogger says, clean the filter while you're at it. And check belt tension. I have a loader that's lame, like yours (but minus the noise), and one that works well. Haven't got around to figuring out what the...

Jay Couch (Couch Off Road) made some mods described on the SEE, HHMH, and HME thread some time back. You may want to look into finding that one.
