UPDATE:
Our weather has acted a bit like spring and has been just warm enough to melt snow and dry up some of the mud. I have been anxious to mess with the dump truck. First thing was to fill up an empty master cylinder. First kinda good news is I have enough brakes that I dare use the truck on the farm to move a pile of cow sunshine. The next bit of good news. I grabbed the handi-man jack and lifted the bed high enough to reach the fill port. Carefully, I put in a gallon of what is prescribed on the data tag. Cranked her up and up went the bed! Smooth as a babies behind. More later....
