Slow doors

Thanks Herb, the electric drill works a treat and all you need is a 15mm 1/2" drive socket on the drill to fit on over the pump splines. Pressures could be monitored by inserting a Tee and gauge on...

Snubber Valve

BTW, in the parts catalog the snubber valve is called a metering pin, #17 on figure 160 p/n 294604-1. Don't want to mess with this if it's not known to cause a problem.
