I just got off the phone with GP- they said there are no forklifts etc. available at the yard in albany georgia. Can anyone confirm if this is true or otherwise?
bump. replaced assist cylinder. still no power. bled and filled system. blew all lines out with compressed air. flushed. ???!? maybe the pump i got was bad?
replaced the steering gear. my old steering gear seemed ok (sans lots of metal flakes from the totaled pump).
no change.
that puts me at replaced pump, replaced steering gear.. no external leaks on assist cylinder.

And yup!
my 925a1 will spin all 6 in mud... before coming to a total stand still. i like to use gravity as my recovery tool around here though ;)
