Zero chance of water, stored indoors & just flushed the system and filled with 32 weight. Its well below the top of the tank, I filled it about 4/5 full and have lost some now.
I understand I can buy new seals, Ranch Hand Supply I think, how hard and what is the procedure to replace them? Special tools helpful? I only have O-ring picks.
I guess, new hoe first real dig with it. Bucket opens and closes good, dipper works fine, swing left and right is sloppy but I understand the swing cylinders are a weak point on this hoe. I never really had a chance to test the thumb, works fine, I needed the dipper and bucket hooked up to see if it would pick up a bucket of dirt, so disconnecting the thumb was my only choice. I might add, boom did come up with no dirt in it, just wold not come up with a full bucket of dirt.
Well its pretty nice out now, boom would not lift so I swapped the thumb valve hoses for the boom hoses and had the same problem. I assume this means my cylinder is bad. Any opinions welcome
PS when it foams out the dip stick I am trying to lift the boom with no success, I am essentially deadheading it (Not real long).
PSS 2,200 PSI on my gauge, filter vaccume gauge reads zero (Brand new cartridge, showed about one stone cold at 25 degrees)
Anybody help please, it was 24 degrees this morning, 34 now, 10:45am, no power when I first started to dig, I let it high idle for about 45 minutes with the pump on, had decent power to dig but it started to foam up and come out the dipstick and fill neck, running 32 weight, mod just like Len's, I have a septic tank coming tomorrow, I need to dig.
Hi Len, got a chance to (test) dig on Saturday, jerkyness is gone, more power, thanks for this mod and great description with pics.
I have a septic tank to dig for but its been so wet here I can't even drive the tractor off my rock driveway.
I still have to be careful with the down boom, goes down fine (fast), but if I let off of it quickly it will jerk the whole hoe, do you have this too?
I got this mod done, its not as pretty as Len's but it works (tested) been too wet to actually dig.
Len: my vacuume gauge on the filter head reads zero, did yours do that at first? or might I have a bad gauge?
I will post pics of mine soon.
