You make good points, and it's funny how these things vary between cars.
I'd bet a lot of it has to do with how they're stored, and in what part of
the country. I'm just getting ready to sell a TF1500. Soon I'll take it
out of 3 year careful storage to get it ready and feel VERY grateful to a
generous higher being if I don't have to rebuild anything wet.
Bet if we asked for a show of hands, there are as many here that have
yearly hydraulic problems as those who don't.
Take care of that ZB!
Regards
George Procyshyn
