Got it about 95% assembled today. Still have to hook up the control valve and fill it with fluid. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to figure out how much fluid I need. I'd rather not calculate the internal volume of the entire hydraulic system. I think I'll prime the pump by filling the tank and turning the pump by hand until it fills the filter and everything between the reservoir and the pump. Then I'll put the belt on and operate the hydraulics and add more fluid as necessary. I really hope this thing works after all of this.
