You do know you can go back and add to your previous post as long as no one has replied to it. No need to post every 3-4 minutes.
Try using capital letters a period or two and spacing. A lot of us are older and were taught how to properly compose a sentence. You are not texting on your phone. Thank you.

I was just researching this for my 1956 LCF.
I found most people recommend neets foot oil for leather or permatex hydraulic jack oil (formerly shock oil?).
I am going to put neets foot oil in mine this week.
My Hydrovac works fine but was not serviced for 9-10yrs.

Mike,thankyou for a reply on that oil question, my boosters work but suspect they are dry {the leather} ! That is a big leather cup ,i never thought about that shock oil will look into that !
