    Foot aux. to joystick conversion pilot valve

    I know there are some great hydraulic minds on here.I’m looking to switch over an SY 35, foot controlled thumb to joystick operated. Ideally, I would love to go with a proportional valve, but trying to find the setup at a reasonable price seems tough. there was another thread on here, where...

    Just posting to see if anybody knew of a place to find parts for a Bonfiglioli final drive.? Mine suddenly locked up. I was able to stop in time but after getting it apart it’s in pretty rough shape. But I could get away with a set of gears. It had oil and everything it looks like one of the...

    Do I need to drain air from hydraulic system?

    I have never heard of having to bleed the air out after changing the filters.The hydrulic tank is higher than the pump so even after you change oil it fills up the suction inlet and the air goes to the top of the tank.

    Engine Oil Bypass Filter - What does it do?

    It is a large filter that keeps the soot level down in your oil.You can run without it, but i personally think engine life is greatly increased with it.There is a cheap place to buy them ,called nicola filters in Abbotsford bc .They are usually half of what the stealer charges.
