    Kidney loop

    Below is a drawing of the breather with check valve option. My understanding is that if you don't have relatively dry air go thru the media bed periodically then the media becomes saturated. The checks prevent the media from absorbing atmospheric moisture when there is no air movement. BTW -...

    Kidney loop

    Nige - If you put desiccant breathers on bulk tanks did you use ones with 0.1psi checks? I would think otherwise they would just absorb atmospheric moisture. I've put them on gearcases but the thermal cycles help purge the moisture in these applications. And regarding those CC Jensen filters -...

    Just another day in paradise

    Wow - that's an antique! I'm surprised the capacitors are still good. I have used a Fluke 123 for 20+ years. Rugged and easy to use but the screen is finally stating to give up. The cheapest equivalent form Fluke is ~$2k but there there are options starting at a couple hundred up to $9k+...

    Grove Hydraulic Body

    The originial post states that we are looking for replacement sections for this valve body with no success so far, If you have any leads on where to find anything concerning this valve body, new or used, we would greatly appreciate it! Sorry, I thought you said you tried to find the whole...

    Grove Hydraulic Body

    Similar to what Crane Operator said - If you can find the same body casting you could always swap over the other parts. I would use a good straight edge to see how flat the sections are. But for root cause I'm not buying the over torque theory. The rest of the block surface would have to crush...

    Gehl transmission filter

    Are you getting this from an old manual? I checked one Gehl parts dealer "where used" and it doesn't show up. I check another and it showed L99184 instead. And MinnPar, whom I have no experience with, also says it was superseded by L99184. The attached site has quite a few cross references for...

    Please help identify this cylinder

    Delmer and Dave - Agree and yes I did forget about the displaced rod volume. I didn't want to get into the myriad of options but to be more clear about my point - it can be used but someone is going to have to do a little figuring to make sure the final product is practical. ISZ

    Please help identify this cylinder

    If you assume 7" bore - at 3000psi that comes out to over 57 tons! And assuming ~26" stroke it would take ~19gpm pump to get 15 second cycles. Assuming a constant volume pump set-up you need 33 hp. minimum when splitting. You may need a larger power source depending on the torque reserve. ISZ

    2008 hyster h60ft propane cushion tire

    thats an interesting failure mode. Was it rusting out or something get inside?

    2008 hyster h60ft propane cushion tire

    If I remember correctly the engine came from GM Brazil and the fuel system from a 3rd party that I can't remember. Teleflex was purchased by Impco so you might try giving them a call. ISZ

    730 Payload System

    I do a lot of work with strain gages. They are a small metallic grid that undergoes minute changes in resistance that directly correlate to strain (i.e. deformation) in a part. The problem is that strain can be caused by mechanical loading AND thermal growth/contraction. Temperature compensation...

    HYSTER 30 FORKLIFT; REPAIR INFO??

    The newer units have the SN stamped into the frame in addition to the plate, but I don't know if the old ones do. H would be a pneumatic tire, but you have a cushion tire so it is an S. I attached the model timeline 1941 thru 98. Assuming it is pre-1989 the mast should have a number stamped in...

    What is that thing attached to the bed handing in front of the cab? Is that a reminder that the bed is down? ISZ

    460 international

    Those look like the same brakes as the M/400/450 but the part numbers don't match. The attached document says they have the same set-up as a 560. If the adjustment nuts are down all the way you need new pads. Our 400 could drive thru the brakes so they often got hot going down the road! :) You...

    Ford 300 industrial velocity governors

    Inherently these differ in their method as one limits air/fuel and one shuts of the ignition. Obviously cutting ignition briefly when someone doesn't make a shift early enough isn't a big deal, but would this be OK when ridding the rev limiter for minutes at a time? Wouldn't this lead to burning...
