I had everything but the pump dropped and I flushed it all. The steel pipe lines and fittings still looked good so I kept them while replacing the hydraulic hoses. I called around to see about getting the cylinders repacked and its currently an 8-12 week lead time minimum which doesn't really work here on my end at this point in time. Thus I flushed and scrubbed them thoroughly before remounting them. I modified the lever on the pump control valve to get better throw and not contact the frame or undermounted toolbox.
After buttoning up the diff I got her pulled from the barn to purge the air from the hydro system and put the bed up. The photos were taken 20 minutes after raising the bed and it still hadn't drifted down an inch. Ill see how it goes with a full load of logs sometime here in the next few weeks.
