Simple Change to Add Some Protection - Chinese Mini Excavator

I simply turn the boom cylinder around to put the hoses and connections toward the boom to help reduce the chance of them getting snagged and busted. I have seen too many pictures online of people snapping these connections and hoses off.

Great video. When you pulled the lower cylinder bolt, did you wipe it clean before showing it? I was expecting more grease to be on it.

Sadly no, I didn't. I thought the same thing when it came out. I don't think this was ever greased properly. I ordered a 250 pack of grease fittings off of Amazon and plan to install them this weekend. This bolt has a grease pin fitting that I will switch out with a zerk. These are what I bought: amzn.to/3UGB1V4
