    I want to understand the book.

    I would like to have a tachometer, the air compressor and hydraulic pump take up the other two possible locations. I found one that would go opposite the blower drive. What would I need to drive it? I found one, but don’t know which type it’s for. 5155861. The screenshots won’t load here, file...

    That’s what I hoped they weren't doing. So what do the numbers under “Types” mean?

    I’m having trouble figuring out my parts book. Why is there no figure/drawing to show what the part numbers are? It only has a number pointing at a group of parts, it’s like it’s meant to be used with another book. To the right of the part descriptions there’s “Types” with numbers under it, what...

    I installed this cylinder a month and a half ago, it doesn’t leak. One lift cylinder developed a leak though, I was hoping I’d never have to mess with those heavy things.

    Installing the seal stretched it out like last time, so I’ve got it compressed in to hold it there. Doing this overnight worked on the other cylinder, then it went together. The only thing I’m waiting on now is the bushing that goes inside the gland, I’m having a v machined into one end. Both...

    Brought down the second tilt cylinder, the other was already done. It‘s obvious why it was leaking. It’s leaking on the inside of the seals, the other cylinder was leaking on the outside of the seals. The metal surface was too pitted and I had to replace it, this one looks the same.

    This leak came back twice now, each time after using the bucket to pop a rock out of the ground with breakout force. A friend thinks I need to dial back the regulator on the control valve.

    Windshield shape looks like the only difference.

    Couldn’t pin the grapple because the loader arm bushings are too small, but was able to actuate the cylinders. I’ve got new bushings coming, and will open them up. That’s the last thing.

    I also drilled through the bushings for the above pins. The collars had holes, but not the bushings. I could only drill from one side because of placement of collars, and the second side walked. Now I’m going to drill a little bigger diameter to make the bolt go through easy, I don’t want to...

    Another hydraulic leak yesterday, a flange hose connection on the bucket pump. I didn’t have that size o-ring, but already went half way down to Fresno and got some. Now to fix it.

    Getting close to having the log grapple working. Got a second hole in the top pins. It work hardened before getting through the second hole, had to finish it with a carbide burr. The new hole will put the grease hole where it needs to be.

    Also had to replace a hydraulic hose in the middle of last trip, that meant a drive down to the hot valley.

    I‘m thinking the same. First I’ll see if it already has one.
