Eastern Oregon
I understand that stainless or black steel are preferred for hydraulic applications. Is there a good reason why you should not use galvanized? I've gotten away with it on a couple of my implements with no obvious problems?
Doesw the oil or higher pressure cause the galvanized coating to flake? Can't say that I have seen it happen, but then I have never actually looked for it.
