Craig,
Very nice job on the mounting flange. I also am not
comfortable with the hole in the bottom of the resivoir. Any chance that you
could machine up some more of those flanges? I, for one, would be interested in
buying one. Thanks.

Christer Wretlind while you are
looking at your hydraulic system, there is one more potential leak area that I
felt needed attention. The oil reservoir tank I received was out of
round at the top flange where the oil pump o-ring is to seal. I was also
concerned about the thru hole in the bottom of the tank where the pump
attaches. If the bottom thru hole joint did leak, there is potential for
the "one quart" hand pump reserve to leak out as well. I
decided to weld the hole shut at the bottom of the tank and machine a mounting
flange for the pump to attach to as shown in the pictures. This solved
both problems.
