I'm a big fan of the Youtube channel "Watch Wes Work".
His latest involved replacing the old FEL controls on an old Oliver machine.
I really liked his ingenuity and his ability to laugh at himself.
His explanations of how things work are very clear and the spool valves are no exception.
In the end, I thought the repair was done well.

Very handy guy and a professional looking repair but that is a perfect example of why I eliminate every pipe thread connection I can when working on hydraulic systems.

Excellent video! Simple, understandable explanation of open-center vs closed-center hydraulics.

Also, ANOTHER EXAMPLE of a F@#$%$#@-ing FAILED FRAM FILTER! …. for all those stricken with the FAULTY-FRAM Brand-Loyalty-Disease.

I like the electrician-tape Band-Aid! My kinda guy!
