Perhaps “How many pieces can be removed from a Bridgeport mill” or”How many pieces does a Bridgeport mill become when rolled down a staircase?”

Why do you think they need to be 90 degrees bend? Look at the hammer blades and they seem to be what you want. They would all be at the same level as they spin. I would imagine that a lot of development has gone into the Y-blade design and how they are spaced apart and staggered. There is a...

I don’t see where anyone said it was complicated. I just gave him information on how to select the pump he was looking for. But thank you for providing that link to what should work.

Another suggestion is to ask about it at a local hydraulic design and repair shop that might know a lot about what is needed- assuming you are not that interested in figuring it out yourself. Good luck.

If you have an existing pump that you need to replace there should be a nameplate on the pump somewhere telling you the flow and pressure at some RPM(s). You can then select a pump that fits onto the PTO shaft that gives you the same performance. If you are trying to add a pump on the PTO to...

The L200/L210 we’re not grey market. They were similar to each other and there is a work shop manual (WSM) here but I did not see an operators manual. https://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=Tractor%20Owners%20Manuals/ Here is a link to someone who recently pulled one out of a...

There should be a wiring diagram inside the connection box (or near the connection box) of the motor. To give you a warning, many small three phase motors are built to bring out many of the winding connections to allow the user to use multiple voltages and amperage ratings so it can get...

@WI_Hedgehog I am not 100% sure about that chemical list for the A36 material. When I knew more about the actual specifications there were really zero chemical properties in the specification, only the 36ksi yield strength requirement. So the steel may have more carbon in it than that limit...

Sounds like there is no power to the key switch and noted above are the probable reasons: post #3 is (probably) pointing to a main fuse block Battery cables need attention Battery may be bad. (Eliminate the tractor battery from circuit and then attach truck battery to the tractor. Keep the...

No not if there is a squealing noise (dumps pressure at a safe pressure setting). If you truly deadhead a hydraulic circuit without a pressure relief the yes it will damage the pump. Most hydraulics are designed with a pressure relief valve that protects them but pressure relief valves can...

See post #2 in this thread for how to adjust the linkage on one model of Kubota (not your mode!) It should provide you some information about how to adjust it on your tractor BUT it will not be exactly the same for your model. Deadheading opens and closes the relief valve and produces a...

Just to clarify…How many converters did you use? If more than one why? I can swear when I was discussing the use of small single phase input converters to get three phases out I was told by a power electronics engineer that more than one would be required but I may have been understanding this...

Sorry for my misunderstanding of your comment and my lack of understanding about the VFDs creation of the third phase. Here is a link to a VFD being used on a Bridgeport mill so presumably pretty close to what @Runs With Scissors is thinking. This is another discussion about the subject in...

Notice that @ken erickson says “3 VFD single phase converters” to get from single phase to shift the phases 120 degrees from each other. I think the converters must be able to communicate with each other to know what they are doing. That might mean they all need to be same brand? I would...

@Daren Todd You might want to look at an boroscope camera if you need to get into tight spaces and get a picture or inspect stuff. Like this...
