Where can I buy the correct fluid for lever action shocks? or what will work as a substitute? Maybe jack oil or some kind of
hydraulic oil? Thanks Dave

Any non-foaming hydraulic oil will work. I have bottle jack oil in mine.

46dave!

I used hydraulic jack oil in mine. It's on a 46 2 ton. They were dry as a bone and I filled them up with that oil. They haven't leaked or seemed to have been harmed by it. They were still working when I put it up for the winter.

Cheers, George

Jarge - there is a truck the same as yours out here but it is blue and has a painted grille and a big box on the back. It is used almost daily by a gardner. I'll try to get a photo sometime and email it to you.
