Just found this on one of our reach trucks during a PM. The dings in the cylinder from the chain were deep enough that they were pulling quite a bit of oil past the wiper. As Raymond cylinders are a pain in the butt to re-seal, I decided to repair. Block the carriage and disconnect the chain, leaving the damaged area visible. Circle emry cloth around the cylinder and sanded the high parts of the divets down. Used JB weld putty to fill in the low spots. Waited one hour and sanded smooth. No more leak and the new operator learned something.

Ain't nothing I can't fix but a broken heart and the break of day!

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
