    Hitachi ex120-3 cavitation/aeration

    Up to you but unless its sucking air in through a cylinder when you retract that is where I would start.

    Hitachi ex120-5 slow hydraulics (limp mode)

    I'd bet that is your problem. Start tracing the wires back and looked for chewed one.

    Recommended Equipment to Clear Land for Silvopasture Cattle Grazing

    Your area probably gets cold enough to deter it but when I had looked into silvo-culture the parasite and pest build up was a big problem as the shade didn't allow enough UV/heat to kill them off. Most ranchers recommended one and done for the year or cut it all down and use shade wagons. But...

    Hitachi ex120-3 cavitation/aeration

    Some old timers put foaming shaving cream around suction lines and look for where it sucks in. Personally I just feel how hard the suction hoses are and if they're over 8 years old they're probably do for replacement.

    Genie z45/25 function issues

    Sounds like a valve isn’t shifting. Genie has good manuals on their website for checking pressures that’s where I would start.

    All the company sees is the cost to move the equipment, not the extra time or concerns from field repair. Allen doesn’t know anything to know better and LMM is used to shop work I’m guessing, going to take him even longer with his repairs. I don’t blame you for getting some distance from this.

    Drill Press

    Those are good old workhorses if taken care of. I’m shopping for a drill press right now but unfortunately I’m looking for the same thing as everyone else so they’re grabbed up fast.

    Chrome shaft pitting repair back yard

    Yes I bought very special rod for small chrome flaking and polished it afterwards. It’s just a bandaid to finish the job until a proper job can be done with spray welding at a hydraulic shop.

    Cat 268b hydraulic fan not turning

    I’d be leaning towards your charge pump being bad. If I’m remembering correctly the only thing in that circuit is the pump, the fan motor, and the relief. I don’t remember a seal on the charge pump between the piston pump and charge just an input shaft.

    Cat 268b hydraulic fan not turning

    If you have low charge pressure replacing the relief is usually the first step.
