Okay:
I can do some tools – We should be fine
I'll bring the air pump thingie – I hope it helps
Hardware......... I ended up needing to use some large washers as shims to level the portion that lifts. It allows my locking mechanism to work correctly.
I also think I added lock washers & nylon insert nuts. I do not know that it is needed but then over-kill is a lot like over-engineering.
Hydraulic Fluid- I have no idea if NAPA would carry it. I am sure your instructions would tell you exactly what to get. I think I went to a place like ‘Farm & Fleet’ to get mine.
