holiday hydraulics? cylinder seal replace on 80's back hoe w/ my dad

Happy holidays to all! In this video, I take you along for a dad & daughter workshop adventure, where my dad show's me how to replace the front swing hydraulic cylinder seals on our 80's back hoe. Of course in case I ever need this knowledge...

BTW, seal replacements are better in the warmth, so that the seals stay warm and are easier to work with (stretch and install). We were working against the cold here.
