Cheap Man Lift Project....Still Struggling | New Battery MORE PROBLEMS!
What happens here
The presenter shows the hydraulic motor that was previously removed and sent to a motor shop for cleaning and repair. He confirms it's ready for reinstallation. He explains the importance of taking photos before disconnecting wires and lines to ensure correct reassembly. He then proceeds to reconnect the hydraulic lines, noting that they were previously wrapped in foil to prevent leakage. He uses an adjustable wrench (crescent wrench) to tighten the lines, acknowledging it's not the ideal tool but gets the job done. He emphasizes the need for care when connecting hydraulic lines to avoid fluid loss. Electrical connections (red wire) are also reattached based on prior photos.
Goal: Secure the hydraulic motor and re-establish hydraulic and electrical connections.
