1. Surpluscenter.com Great deals on hydraulic parts to put together hydro assist. I ordered some fittings and lines fom them. I recieved them in 2-3 shipping days (don't remember exactly). Parts look good, and fit as they should. They also have rams at good prices as well. You can get everything you need from them to put a hydro assist together on the cheap except the cooler and the gearbox rebuild kit.
2. Franklin Electrofluid There was a cpl of fitting I needed that I didn't order online because I was unsure of the size. These guys are out on Watman off old getwell. I took my ram in there, and the hose, and told them I needed this to connect to this. These are a great group of guys there to deal with. I buy air valves for work there, but this is the first time I have ever bought anything personal. They keep ALOT of stuff in stock too. They keep a record of everything by name, so if I ever need a replacement, they can look up my order history. Simple stuff, but helpful. A little more expensive than ordering online, but the help was worth the extra for me. still fair prices.

Disassembled my box, tapped it and re assembled it, but its going to be a few more week before i get to test it out. Think I'm going to change the fittings at the box to 45's instead of 90's, but its looking pretty good for the sub $150 hydro assist.
