I like the fancy anti-rust system of just spraying hydraulic oil everywhere.

The Gland Nut, washer, and shaft.
The Gland Nut on the shaft with the washer. It stays near the Gland Nut inside the cylinder, so the shaft is also the 'piston'.
Back together for transport to the rebuild shop. There's a place half an hour away that makes their own rams.
Dude at work said he used to take all kinds of hydro rams there.

Goddamn snow today was quite a bit heavier than expected. Put her back together with a ram stolen from the old plow.
The rod end was bigger than the old ram, so I ran the ram on top of the bracket instead of inside it.
Probably best as the fluid connection would have interfered with the bracket on the hinge side.
Double sheer would have been better, as designed, but this is probably the last snow of the year (I hope), and I just wanted to get it done.
Man this is nice. Pushes a huge pile at once.
A snow like this would have taken me much longer with a straight blade!

This was a shitty slushy sleet nonsense that's perfect for snowballs. If you wanted to hurt someone. It was only 2 inches deep, but could have easily been 14 inches of powder. I had to use the old man ergonomic shovel for the steps and sidewalks.
Hopefully it's gone by the weekend.

I prefer flamethrowers.
Here's the reason I'm trying to get the old rams rebuilt instead of just getting new.
The yellow ram is 2 years old, but the paint stress cracked almost immediately near the ends of the tube. There's some bulging near the gland nut end.
The original ram off the new plow is twice as heavy with thicker walls. It's rusty, but I don't see any evidence of stress or bulging on the tube.
I could have a set here in a few days.
