So, here's the deal, last time I used my porta power BlackHawk the ram started leaking so seeing as how I had some time and needed something to do thought this would be a good project to get into. Got it taken apart and seen what I needed for the repair so here's the good part. I am on a couple different sites, and everyone always say to use local places to purchase parts rather than online and I do try to do that not only to save shipping time but to buy local. I get on the phone and call 3 different local hydraulic repair shops and it was like they didn't even care to deal with a small sale, bring in old parts but we would still have to order out the parts, parts may no longer be available, need to check sizes of what you have etc. So, I tell them I have the tool numbers, but they say won't help. After dealing with these answers from them I get online I find 3 places that have what I need by using the ram part number. Needless to say, I pick one and order the parts with shipping is $40.00 but now I just have to wait for them to get to me. I guess I just don't understand why my local places just didn't want to take the time to find these parts in their stock, but the online places were happy to get the business.
