It is one drip per second, running off the belly of the machine, and makes a pretty good mess, on a daily basis.
I buy used equipment, knowing I'll have to make repairs. And, I always buy the equipment at a price, that will allow me to make right, what needs done. In my area, a person qualified, skilled, and safety conscious, can charge $200/hr., hoisting roof trusses.
As a Retiree, it's a portion of what I do to pass time, and provide a service.
My question was.... does anyone have experience removing the cylinder. I like this forum, because of the fact that I can usually find someone willing to offer help, in any positive way they can. Thank you to those persons.
