Hydraulic Leveler Crisis...

[Andy Coleman]

Fellow Wanderlodgers:

One of the rear hydraulic leveler jacks on my 83' FC-35 has been
leaking fluid for some time. Decided to fix it before leaving on my
first big road trip.

So I pulled it off, and two weeks ago delivered it to a hydraulic
repair shop. They told me they would have it fixed in a few days.

Well, they called me back last Friday to tell me that their main
mechanic quit, and the remaining guys didn't know how to fix it.

I leave for my first road trip on Saturday. There is a leaking
hydraulic jack in the back of my car. Not sure if any shop has the
time to fix it at this point....

Anybody know where I might be able to buy a rebuilt one and drop off
mine as a core? Is the factory that made these things still in
business?

I'm not even sure what model I have. Can't find any part numbers.
One of my Wanderlodge books mentions the AP-2968 and AP-2381. Does
anybody know what model was installed in early 80's FCs?

Any help would be greatley appreciated! I'm beginning to regret
tackling this project with just weeks to go.

Thanks everyone!
