Wired things up today. Switch goes straight to the battery for now. It will be wired via the ignition switch eventually and fused. Filling the pump with hydraulic oil took some time. Due to where the pump is, the breather/filler is only accessible with an oil can.
Finally test time. Much to my delight the hitch went up and down a treat. So on with the plough. Wouldn't lift it.
After a bit of thinking, I decided to reposition the ram to fulcrum. Below is where it was.
As you can see, not much leverage. So, finding a bit of flat bar I bolted it to the arm, so it was extended. Ram fitted in after much fiddling. Plough back on and not holding out much hope, I tried again with baited breath.
Can't seem to get the short video on here, so I'll put it in the video section.
Just remembered. I have to go via U tube.
