well not really i got a dump trailer i've made and had for about a year, but this
is my first full dump only truck. it was a semi but i got two others so i turned this one into a dumper, kind of gave it a new life, it was almost on the ebay list.
anyway this is the little dude.

Na it doesn't have a valve. it just 1-1 pumps on it goes up pump of it falls back down. the cylinder is only a single action, so there is only one in let on the bottom
