You hit the nail squarely on the head. Reading down the posts until this point it seems you are the only one that actually gets what I was saying. Just goes to prove the thought process that an old/used vehicle can't be reliable. Just think, at one time people had no problem traveling across the state, country, etc in a Model T Ford, a 40 Ford Coupe, a 55 Chevy, a 69 Camaro, A VW Bug, etc, etc......to them every one of those vehicles was NEW, and reliable transportation. And any of those vehicles and many, many others can be just as reliable with some work to get them back into shape and proper maintenance. I always think it's funny to read about someone doing a complete restoration on their classic car and having it break down several times on the way to the first out of state show. I restored a 55 Chevy in high school and drove it 400-600 miles nearly every other weekend, not to mention around town every night of the week I wasn't on duty, for nearly 6 years (until it got wrecked) and never had any problems out of it.
Personally I think alot of the NEW mentality is simply to impress the Jones', or maybe it's just disillusionment about what true reliability is coupled with a desire to not have to do maintenance on the newer stuff because of sealed bearings, etc, etc instead of the grease fittings that required a little time to keep maintained if you wanted your machine to really last.....

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
