Good to see someone doing hydro rebuilds despite the fact that it seems frowned upon... not sure why, there's an entire section in the repair manual dedicated to hydro pump maintenance

Yeah. I was taking a blind chance at getting it but it seemed as if everything was kept clean, it would work out okay for me. Other than mixing up the pistons I had no issues.

Where most home rebuilders screw up is getting the charge pump on backwards. Or trying to "resurface" the lens plates and barrel faces. You obviously got it right!! Nice work.

Ambush, Thanks!! This was a major step forward in my 149 project. Do you have any recommended online sources for replacement rubber hydraulic hoses for the lift cylinder?
