It has caterpillar like effect, very solid feeling
Best part: whenever it's moving heavy earth, she bog down seem like she gonna shut off, nope
She keep churning earth

It has caterpillar like effect, very solid feeling
Best part: whenever it's moving heavy earth, she bog down seem like she gonna shut off, nope
She keep churning earth
Carve you earth for 10-15 hour, shutting down when hot
Carve you serious amount of earth with L295DT
Make you one statement:
These machines way better than modern skid loader and worth twice as much in gold/cash because:
Your normal state when you churn earth is NO INPUT from operator, meaning
Put you that gear, drop you that cluch, and she is churning earth and you are just hanging out
Compare that to the modern skid loader:
It needs INPUT from operator at all time when it is carving earth
IE: all skid loaders are inferior/annoying
Real ones working in the field understand
Cold, she run fine and no issue
When she get hot, I notice bigger leak from this area, diesel line from the tank to the engine, I think the valve that close the tank is leaking
You are moving serious earth, she is getting hot in temperature, this line lose its prime, and engine sputter off
seal you that area next time you do service
glob you some gasket maker to try to give it better seal temporary
install you semi truck battery you got for $20
change you the shape of your realm
exact pattern before she sputter out:
smoke start to come out this vent once she get hot then it is likely to die off under big load
few possibilities: there is only water in the engine, no coolant, maybe coolant keep it lower temperature
the diesel line: suspicion: that line from tank to engine need to be fully sealed or else engine will pull in air pockets and sputter out
there was no problem but the hydraulics, bucket stuck scraping ground, and engine cant drag it,
drag you back L295DT to the shop, fully attack all the issue:
Take you off all hydraulic cylinder, do surgery and try to seal them with gasket maker, and
address all other hydraulic leaks, when I look inside transmission, the fluid is bubbly, meaning
you are pulling air into the system from somewhere
seal you up all your hydraulics, fill it up with fluid
Carve you serious amount of earth with L295DT

Rebuild all hydraulic cylinder, seal up hydraulic system
I point here to the ring that hold in the cylinder, last time spent too much effort dealing with it, maybe my protocol wrong, my protocol:
seal up the cylinder, then hammer the ring in millimeter by millimeter, takes too much time
is the protocol:
put ring in then close the cylinder over the ring, it will take less time doing this
let me know which is correct
take you off all 4 cylinders, take them apart, clean them with intent, then
glob you bunch of gasket maker to seal where the hydraulic fluid oozing out
from what i remember and the looking at the diagram, you can seal that part where the cylinder moves up/down, there is rubber seal there
if gasket maker cant seal it, then get you the proper seals made for them etc
Also, your plumbing that you did on the hydraulic system is causing air to get into your lines, and its causing your hydraulic fluid to bubble up
I do notice I can work hydraulics when cold, but after a bit the pump start whining, and if you look inside transmission, you see bubbly fluid
figure you out where the leaks are in your plumbing, maybe melt you some bronze on the leaks
you notice fluid all over injectors, you might've found your loss in diesel pressure that cause the sputtering down
you notice big crack in your 40 year old loader
no way to take apart cylinder without removing the ring, almost destroyed it trying to air chisel it
got your cylinder apart, I point to the leaking area
to get to the leaking area, unscrew this part and the rest of it should come out
almost destroy your cylinder trying to get it unfastened, look at diagram again maybe there is a better way
figure something out where you get something hold on to it tight, then hammer on that
yes, you found a way to unscrew top of cylinder
put one side back onto the bucket, now she is hold tight, you you massive pipe wrench, torch hard soak in diesel
tired of dealing these 45 year old leaky cylinders, destroying them trying to fix them, so grateful that you got them apart and can move show forward

might've found a way to save big $$ by rebuilding your own cylinders, rebuild your cylinders try to seal them
so grateful you got it apart, and you can see the pathway of the leak, dirt trail going through all the seals
clean you everything surgically, get you gasket maker and build back with gasket maker and clean seals and let it cure, do that for all 4 cylinder
make you workstation out of pallet, clean everything with solvent/air, take you out all the seal, who care if some break, gob everything in gasket maker
keep you going, taking them apart, sealing them up in this way, and sealing up all the fitting, anywhere there is hydraulic pressure, you seal
show you before you close up the cylinder
one done, 3 more to go, your close to having your robot functioning
Lift cylinders are welded on, grind everything down, hit hard with small torch and maybe big torch, sledehammer and big chisel, get you out one pin, get in there and do surgery on both cylinder
@north wolf
yes I listen, I have not pump hydraulic into it yet, let it cure, i was fixing to remove lift cylinder
ok i see what you mean, hydraulic fluid will break it down and flood the system with small pieces
hit you both pin with grinding wheel until you see separation, then soak in diesel, hit hard with torches, smack with sledgehammer
take you out 3rd cylinder to rebuild
I'll never understand this ring, got it fully stuck inside cant open up cylinder
@dragfan66
yes, I see that now, I just grinded welds for an hour or more for nothing

This has turned into a 100% over the top train wreck.
For any poor soul that runs across this thread, this is 100% a DO NOT DO ANY OF THIS THREAD!
ALL that RTV running around in the hydraulics system and transmission is going to mess everything up and you'll have even more issues than you can ever deal with.
The RTV will hold for about a millisecond before it jettisons off into the valve, the transmission, the gears, the filter and the pump!

Too bad you didn't take that bolt out adjacent to the pin weld you are grinding on.
That is what is holding the pin in, not the weld.
I hate to say it, but this project is getting way worse instead of better every day.
The silicone is going to finish off the hydraulic system.

‘Gotta give him credit…I am fairly sure he hasn’t missed a damn thing with that silicone…just sayin’
I’m thinking Joe’s laughing his A** off. Will he make it to 1000 posts on pure BS? Its obvious he does whatever is the most detrimental repair in every instance. What other reason could there be other than the entertainment value?
Well, it was predicted by many at the beginning of this thread that the tractor engine would never run again. But the tractor is pushing some sand around today.
In a way this thread is a testament to the value of sweat & hard work, at least in the short term.
Amazing to me, but when I think back on what has been done to the tractor during the term of this thread, I’m having trouble remembering anything that I would do the same way! I honestly mean anything! There must be something…
Perhaps time for another challenge: "What did Joe do that you would do?”
One thing I give Joe credit for is he cleans things thoroughly before he does his duty to them.
Another thing, he takes a lot of good pictures of his work. That takes patience. I almost never stop to clean my hands to take a picture when tinkering on something.
complain you about every leak until all of them gone
Your hillbilly plumbing still leak tiny bit, give it that big flame, do you some magic until it is melted into intself sealed
your connection to the transmission leaking, 45 year old seal clapped out
glob in gasket maker
I see leaks on the bottom of where you connect your cylinder to the valve
something with the fitting is not right, dont worry about figuring it out,
label you each line 1 through 6, take you off all the line, take you off all fitting, clean everything then compress air
glob you ton of gasket maker, you seal up all fitting with militaristic intent,
build it back up SEALING EVERYTHING and put your lines back in place since they are labeled
glob you up gasket maker on connection of pressurized transmission line
diesel leak: try to see where it is located or take everything off and build everything back up surgically sealing with solvent/air/gasket maker
the leak definitely big enough to cause your engine to shut down at normal throttle
your other hillbilly plumbing somehow not leaking
coming off the hydraulic pump, leak also there, seal it up, seal clapped out
the ring inside the cylinder giving you big trouble, challenging you
that little ring defeating you, it really is
get you a cut off disc, cut into it, get a nail and hit the ring until it come out toward you, go in there with surgically stuff to pull it out
that ring is the reason why people give up and get new cylinder,
get you inside that cylinder and do you the surgery to seal it
summary: you declare all your leak, then you attack all your leak, and rebuild you the two cylinders with escalated effort on that ring
first task you do, witness you some magic
dont play with that big flame in the worldly state, only play with the big flame right when you wake up
hopefully your magic trick seal your hydraulic line
consume you your entire existence/energy/might into trying to get this ring out
an absolute nightmare, i FULLY AGREE with the detractors that say this is all a bad idea, all of it

got the ring out, rebuild cylinder
proof of flaws:
I just spend 2 hours hammering like no tomorrow, cutting, sparks are flying from my strikes
only to find out, all you had to do was spin the cylinder and reveal you the ring to grab, and yank on it and spin more and it come out
2 hours of maniacal destruction for nothing, unbelieveable
entire day of energy gone and you still have not separated cylinder
I bet there is a really smart way to do this, you would pump pressure into the side you want to push and it would pop it out
fill it with transmission fluid and acetone, leave it alone, go take off other lift cylinder
no, come you back out the rash state, come you back to the reasonable state
stop hammering, chain you up both side, pull on cylinder with pickup truck
Separate you your cylinder, unbelieveable
rebuild your cylinder while you ponder -
why did I waste all that energy? Why do I forget about the methods that I have already discovered?
just unscrewing this took big effort, big torch time, tons of diesel
take off everything, clean and reseal, put back onto loader
cannot screw the piston head back in, fully defeated, unable to stand
grind you down those threads to let it screw in easier
you wasted ton of energy incorrectly, you plan to do 10 things, you didnt even get one done

Maybe not look at a hammer as the first tool you reach for every time??
