work on Stage 1 is 95% complete pending installation of the solid state pressure sensor
the drive cylinders for Stage 1 (lower) and Stage 2 (upper).
the bellows cylinders for Stage 1 (lower) and Stage 2 (upper).
work on the internal combustion engine driven hydraulic pump is 95% complete pending wiring of the clutch solenoid.
