I have 9.00x20 duals like it is suppose to have.
I have rebuilt the engine using the final upgraded parts offered by hercules
which include a better piston with a imbedded steel protection around the ring
groove.

Other than that it is factory, I have turned up the pump pressure a little.

It may have a come apart at any time running it like this but I have been doing
it for a couple of years now.
I don't recommend it.
