Have you thought of Zip tying the coiled electrical cable to one of the hydraulic lines on the ruckus rake at 4 or 5 points so the electrical connector is always close to the hydraulic connector. That way if you forget to connect it or the connection come undone, it wont fall in the wonderful cord eater. :)

Well, a brick "outhouse" may be tough, but it's awful hard to move it when the pit gets full. Just saying. Owning three Kubotas right now, I have to agree about not thinking forward about maintenance, (a flexible neck funnel is the only way to add hydraulic fluid without taking the seat off on two of them) but the easiest one to work on was built in 1981, so probably the only designer that thought about maintenance has retired.

I run the same kind of rake but it is make by Harley I have had it for 20 years and I can’t imagine not having it for cleaning up jobs. It is almost time to replace it. I have replaced all the teeth on the drum about 3 times and I have had to weld a patch on the bottom of the chain case twice now because it has worn through and the oil started leaking out. It has several thousand hours on it so I have no complaints.

I think you made a mistake when you installed the bottom roller / rear idler roller bearing. While you were able to figure out that the alignment pins needed to go to the rear the issue is the grove that you install going up should have been installed going down. If you go back to 23:00 in your video, you can see the old bottom roller / rear idler roller bearing coming out has the groves going down.

For the air controls on your overhead crane it might just be a stuck valve inside the valve body. We use a lot of lift assists at work and the up/down switches get stuck. One of the very knowledgeable maintenance guys would remove the airline and add some pneumatic oil and with the airline back on cycle the valves. It might help free up the stuck valve and stop flowing air causing the hoist to raise up.
