I have a large metal workshop with 1/0 copper wire run to it 250" to a 200-amp panel set up with 100 amp breaker, put a 8.25 Kw solar PVS on the metal shop roof, permitted and tied to the grid. wanted to go with a bigger system but with the 1/0 copper wire I was limited per code. BIGGER is...

I like, I'm watching to see if one of the experts can figure this out. Was thinking I would leave the BH on for counterweight & for valve use, then realized I cannot use the BH valves for the Grapple because its all in one, So wont work for me unless the hoses went to a control valve from the...

What NOT to do, load on a downhill with gravel, cantilevers the backend of the truck up, took me for a 50' unintended ride with no weight in the backend of my dually, stopped by itself, with no casualties. Thank God.

Bringing her home for the first time, 200-mile trip. 14000lb dump trailer worked great.

I have the 2hr curl drop issue, after looking in messicks parts, rebuild for cylinders 2x7 o-rings $250, or $3500 for a new spool/control Valves, I figured its not that bad yet, If you have a leak from the spool/control valves look at the Messicks site to see if they would have a rebuild kit...

Thanks Rod Rocket, checked Messicks price for the cylinder rebuild o-ring kit $250, Price for a new Spool/Control valve $3500. I guess a slow drop of the bucket is OK for now till it gets worse. :(:(:(

Be patient, searched for over a year for my L47, any deal too good to be true is a scam, amazing how many you see.

My L47 has the same set up, I got one of those lock-on grease gun fittings for that rear zerk after finding it about impossible to pump into it, which I did then get a small amount of grease to come out of that plug compared to the front one being easy and lots of grease. My maintenance section...

Just sold my 305DT to a friend, is your front axle case missing or broken? Specialty welders have rods that can very carefully weld cast iron, actually was given some of the rod and fixed a broken water pump casting, took some time because you have to do slowly. had the pivot bracket on my old...

So Donystoy, did rebuilding the cylinders stop or help the bucket curl drop?

Even with a chain and 3lb hammer I have room to spare, got the biggest one that would fit.

40MM, works great, Kubota grey or Army green?

This test if it failed/bucket dropped, would show there is an internal leak in the cylinder, if bucket held would show it to probably be the spool/valve?

Yes permanently, and if it's not the spool/valve, then that means both cylinders are internally leaking?

I am attempting to understand this curl hydraulic hose disconnect test and am shy to be pulling hoses off, still cleaning the hydraulic fluid off the cement from replacing the blown curl end hose one week ago. Engine running? Which hose? What is normal or not?

Yes, Thanks.

Thanks, so a new valve will probably be needed, sad that could happen at 400hrs. I will update if I get there.

What is the spool, where is it located? Would that allow both rams to leak down?

Thanks for your thoughts, my old JD backhoe would drift down, I was told it was in the control valve, which made sense because I rebuilt/sealed the ram with no change, not looking forward to opening up the control valve, will wait till I have to, I will just be quicker when I'm using the bucket...
