    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    I could niot find a workshop manual for the 2230 but most of the other BX models seem to be 1780-1840 so 1800 PSI strikes me as a good round target. EDIT Correction - BX2200 relief setting 1778 - 1849. I still like that 1800 PSI target. I will aslo add that if you add shims and it does not...

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    You wont have a lot of choice. Add shims until you get something in between and call it good. Dan

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    Yes - thst is what you want to know. If you had the backhoe or loader connected you would not know which of the three reliefs you are reading. Dan

    In that case you are reading the main tractor relief. Dan

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    Loader and backhoe on or off? If the loader or backhoe valve is in the circuit you have as many as three relief valves to consider. Dan

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    Look at the female coupler on the hose. There should be a part number printed or etched on it. Dan

    BX2200 BXpanded pressure tester issue

    If your goal is to test the tractor supply pressure you do not need or even want the loader in the circuit. With the tractor shut down connect the gauge to the pressure supply line for the loader. Start the tractor and read the pressure then shut the tractor down and remove the gauge. That...

    Help me out here. The control valve is a sectional valve. Did you take the entire stack to the shop and what did they determine was wrong with the valve? The boom work section costs $1200 and does not include the port relief cartridges Not sure which port relief holds the boom but the low...

    Ghost in the Machine? BH77

    Your intuuition is right about the name but not the exact way they work. In a nutshell: When a spool is shifted the first thing that happens is the center core is blocked causing the pressure in the parallel "power core" to increase. It is the power core not the center core that feeds...

    Port relief not load check. Load check is blocked when spool is in neutral. Dan

    RTR2570 - Mechanic keeps saying it’s too big for my L4310

    Failure to investigate the thermostat is gross malpractice. That should have been tested before replacing the radiator. Dan

    Port reliefs are on the individual work ports so you dont overload the cylinders with digging forces. Not sure whats on this particular machine but the parts breakdown of the boom valve section should tell you. Dan

    L175 Remote Hydraulic

    Lets be clear - there are three lines: Pressure in from tractor Pressure out to the tractor - aka power beyond or high pressure carry over Tank return which is also the pressure relief circuit going to tank Now which of those are you asking about? Dan

    Based on your narrative I am leaning towards a sticky port relief. As in you actuste the relief during the normal course of operation and it hangs open rather than closing as it should. Could be a sticky poppet or something lodging in the seat. Dann

    L4150 Repair Restore

    Not NIW but... I have all of the tools, a big shop with all of the lifting equipment and for $400 I would not even think about doing it myself. Dan

    Backhoe attachment

    I have no first hand experience but in their online video Messick's explains this in some detail and they say no. The primary reason given is at least a portion of the subframe on the TLB models is an integral part of the base tractor. There is also an issue with the ROPS being bigger to...

    Bx2380 rear remote

    Yes - had that explained later by someone else in a separate thread. He actually did the modifications. Not for the faint of heart or metal work challenged 🙄 Dan

    Replacing BX1500 power steering lines

    I would make them for half that. But his problem is the job of replaceing them is to much for him and he has to pay a dealer to do the job = $800. Dan

    Right to Repair

    It may be a popular narrative but its naive to blame the government. Computer engine and powertrain management is an engineering fact of life with or without environmental regulations. Dan
