Hand pump is not working

I don't believe the hand pump or air/hydraulic pump are working now,

Meanwhile, the immediate problem is solved. The problem was not the hydraulics at all, but rather a mechanical interference. The cab was landing on and stuck on the arch that holds the cab lock. Judicious application of a crow bar solved the problem

Thanks guys for putting up with me, I appreciate it.

I've ordered the hand pump setup that Ronmar is using and when it arrives, I'll install it. Meanwhile, I won't be raising the cab until the new hand pump is installed and the cab lock re-built.

If you're going to delete everything but the cab cylinder I would highly recommend getting the updated stronger cab cylinder for the add-on armor trucks since they are larger and you need the cab floor reinforcement kit that it comes with anyway since the cab floor is about as strong as wet tissue paper where the ram connects.

I just ordered one of the stronger cab cylinder and reinforcement kits on ebay. I may not get it installed right away, but getting it while I can find one seems sensible.
