Len,

Beautiful result.
Do you know your left lift arm is from a New or Power model? The right one with the adjuster is from the Super.

What a great looking County.
Kind regards, Henk

Cheers guys, henk yes I do know the L/H drop arm is not right a friend of mine is looking for a correct one so that he can swap with me ( his has been welded), Essex Pete the pipes are as they were when I stripped it however the only time that I had it running was without the power steering belt on as I had nowhere to fix the ram to (it was attached at the rear of the loader frame) si hand on heart I cannot say that it was pied up correctly before hand or indeed it it worked before, do you know which way round the pipes should be mine is the L/H pipe at the pump goes to the uppermost point on the ram.
Regards Len.
