Hydraulic chute build

[awesome]

Looks like you have 1/2" pipe elbows in the ports,. The hydraulic restrictors I linked should fit without the need for adapters.

That's 3/8.

That's 3/8.

OK - get the 3/8" restrictors.

Hydraulic adapters are key components in any hydraulic system. They create an effective means of connecting hydraulic hoses to control valves, cylinders and other stationary components. Proper use of adapters will reduce system costs by reducing space requirements, allowing shorter hose lengths...

Ok, I just found some 3/8 on amazon. 37$ (27usd) for 2, shipping included. I won't need extra fittings.

You lost me with "3FV". I have a 2spool valve hooked up on my 3 hoses that the backhoe would use.

The sproket works when I rotate manually. Didnt weld it on the hub yet. I know it probably wont work well. So I'm gonna look around for shops that sell gears.

3rd Function Valve - See the letters in RED. I speak in acronyms as good as any military spec sheet. That's just a TLA (three letter acronym)

I'm.gonna receive the restrictors on dec 16. I'm being impatient and tempted to try something else in the meantime. I saw some people tapping the inside of a fitting, adding a bolt and then drilling a small hole. Would it be a bad idea to just fill the inside of a fitting with a big ugly weld blob? I'm guessing that if aome particles would break free it could break something.

You can make a restrictor plate by drilling a .030 or .060 hole in a small metal disc then put the plate inside the fitting. I almost suggested that a while back.

And weld it in place?

 

[TheOldHokie]

And weld it in place?

No - just put it in the fitting and let the pressure hold it in place,

The easiest way is like you said. Drill and tap for a pipe plug size and drill a very small hole to start.
Maybe a 1/16".
I have used this method for slowing functions on equipment we sell.
Weld might be hard to drill. Can also have small pieces possibly dislodge b

I made a small disc with a 1/16 hole.

At low throttle it's manageable. At high throttle it's still too fast. The restrictors I ordered will be 1/32 so it should help. My intuition says that adding 2 restrictors instead of just 1 won't make a difference.

Now it doesn't make a difference whether I slap the valve full on or just barely. But that was expected and I understand why.

You are doing a great job. My new blower has the identical chute rotator from the factory and even it rotates faster than I like so I might eventually install a restrictor in the lines as well. I might also say that mine does not rotate all the way and just stops where the teeth stop. Does not seem to cause any issues.

 

[awesome]

I just received the 1/32 restrictor today.
This is much better. And it doesn't matter if I'm on high or low throttle.
