Excellent video. What I like most is the background commentary, which makes the video much more interactive for learning. Additionally, I very much appreciate the caveats about why or why not a specific technique should be used.

Thanks for watching man I hope I’m leaving something useful out there 😆

Also easier access to the chain pin at the top end of the free lift cylinder.

[@adamouellette1358]

Can you explain more on why you chain the free lift cylinder?

Can u explain how to chain a mast for changing the seal kits

[@magnoliamobileservice4534]

You chain the cylinder so it opens the valve inside of the cylinder allowing fluid to flow to the rail cylinders. Without the lift chain on the yoke limiting travel you can blow out the packing seals if you don’t chain it.

@@magnoliamobileservice4534 doesn’t the free lift cylinder max out at the top of its stroke under normal operation?

[@cdw0008]

Did you replace them due to a lot of play with the carriage within the channels of the mast?

[@magnoliamobileservice4534]

Thanks for watching! There was one bearing making a knocking/popping sound as the carriage raised or lowered. So I just change them all since I have to take the carriage out anyway. 🍻

A lot easier and safer leaving the attachment on. Instead of balancing the carriage on axle stands
