How To Extend Slide With Missing Pump?

[varissul]

We just purchased an old 1995 Terry 33-M and the slide pump was removed by the previous owner (I think he was going to part it out before we bought it). We need to get the slide out so we can refurbish and repair some water damage. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this without replacing the pump right away? Thanks.

My 1994 has a manual crank which, thankfully, I've never had to use. I did have to replace one of the hydraulic rams once. That was fiasco because the ram mfr had gone out of business.

You could always start by replacing the pump, it would need to happen anyway.

Generally there is a manual crank out option. Look underneath the slide for a full width bar/rod with possibly 2 gears. There should be an accessible end where a crank handle, or possibly wrench/ratchet, can be attached. Crank it out.
