Shaver HD8 hydraulic post pounder questions.

Last weekend I bought a pounder. Sent my nephew to pick it up, sight unseen. After a bit of fiddling, I have it hooked up. It was set up on a bobcat, and I put it on a 3 point. Looks like some parts were missing for 3 point hookup. So I welded some tubing on to support the supports. After plumbing, it is now functional.



Photo 4 shows some broken welds. I am trying to figure out what the purpose is there. Not sure if I broke them tinkering or they came that way.

In photo 5 it shows the top of the cylinder. I have slight leakage there. Thoughts on fixing? Looks like I need to buy a bigger wrench to do something. My adjustable one wont work in the tight space.

Also, I do not have the spring loaded post holder. Is it worth buying? I haven't looked into it quite yet. After a week of rain, I ak guessing fencing is at least a week or two out.

Thanks for the input.
