Victor Electronic Rat Trap
The Victor Electronic Rat Trap is the ultimate in rodent control. It works by delivering a humane, high-voltage shock to effectively kill the invading rat. This powerful device is capable of killing up to 50 rats per set of fully charged batteries (4 C), making it a great value when you’re dealing with a sizable infestation. It’s also easy to use! Get started by simply applying a high protein bait in the provided bait cup, place the trap in a location with high rodent activity and turn it on.

The trap is equipped with advanced smart circuit technology, which senses when a rat enters the tunnel, triggering the system to deliver a humane, high-voltage shock once the rat steps on the electrified plate.

For your convenience, the trap’s design allows you to easily dispose of the dead rodent without having to see or touch it. The new and improved design of the electronic trap has a removable kill chamber, which provides better plate access so you can easily clean and bait it in between uses.

Replacing Hydraulic Cylinder Seals – Part 5 – Putting it all together

Now that the mess is all cleared up, I can reassemble the hydraulic cylinder and get the tractor going again. This was a long adventure, but I learned a lot along the way and discovered many tips and tricks to help on my next rebuild.

I have a thing for older tractors and will probably use these skills a lot more in the future. I hope everything I went through helped you also.

Always check for part updates when ordering seal kits and parts for your tractor. So many revisions seem to occur along the way. I blame myself for the part mix-ups, and will be more diligent in the future when doing this kind of work.

Replacing Hydraulic Cylinder Seals – Part 4 – What did I do wrong?

So what did I do wrong? This should not be this hard to do. I talk about seal kits and what to look for if there is issues. OEMs change parts all the time and sometimes you can’t even trust your dealer to get you what you need.

Don’t just take your dealer’s word for it, research it yourself. Luckily New Holland has a decent parts catalog online and allows anyone to dig through it. I went to the New Holland dealer to sort it all out and explain the whole ordeal in this video.

Hydraulic cylinder seals should go in easy. Don’t keep working at a seal that does not want to go in. There is probably something wrong if you have to force your way through the kit.

Learn from my mistakes in this video so you can easily cruise through your next hydraulic cylinder rebuild.
