Oh that’s cool you can drop the bed without the engine running I didn’t know that. Ethan, you have three shadows you know that right? Your own shadow and then Teeter and Lillie. By the God bless you for your sneeze. Nice video I enjoy watching if you are in the field or working on your equipment I find them very interesting and educational. Thank you for sharing.

Know a guy who'd use wire nuts on the trucks at the fertilizer plant. He'd fill them full of silicone, after installing them. Said they worked as well as anything, using them that way. Neighbor started beans today, here in Champaign County, IL. We took five loads of corn to the elevator, to take advantage of 1/2 price drying. May take some more tomorrow. Thanks for another video.

The wire nuts for tracer wire that gets buried with utilities come prefilled with dielectric silicone and have a butt cap to keep the dirt out. First time I saw one, my first thought was thank god most people don't know these exist.

Ah checking the hydraulic fluid! Memories of my '67 F600 that had a scissor lift - with the body of the cylinder being the reservoir. So you couldn't check/fill it unless the bed was up, and if the oil was low it wouldn't go up. You had to always check it before use because you did not want to go through unloading with a bed that wouldn't raise. No one likes shovelling that much!

Here in NE Arkansas we got 5 inches in the span of a day basically (it rained for 3, but we got 5 on Thursday alone). Slowed harvest down quite a bit. However, it was so dang dry before that that its actually soaking in fairly well. Not fast, but better than you'd expect.

It might be more trouble than it is worth but a couple of 90 degree fittings and a piece of clear hose or tubing and you could make a sight glass for the hydraulic tank. I had the same problem with a Chevy C/30 loosing brake fluid. I never did find the leak.

i have a 1980 chevy c70 tandem grain truck with 20 ft grain bed the motor i think 427 but not sure, but any ways i replace all the park lights and tail lights with LED lights and the cab lights and put new iron head tires all around. I like the buckeye beds my dad had a 1972 chevy c60 with a buckeye bed and that truck was a tank and i wish it was still around any ways he sold it to buy a semi and grain trailer. But i hate my bed it is a omaha bed and it has the same lift cylinders as your truck and mine is going to need a rebuilt as well and when you find the seal kit let me know i wanna rebuild mine. It would be nice if you could post a photo of stuff to show the comments. Because why the guy before me painted the front body of the truck but not me i painted the bed 2 years ago and everyone though i painted the hole truck
