    where to find used parts?

    I've had good experiences w/ these folks, but I have not purchased any electronics. https://www.conequip.com/

    Home shop hydraulic test tools?

    My hydro training is a mishmash of ancient hydro-tuned transmitters on B-52s and working around acft flight control systems for a long time. I like to understand what I'm working on. Hydraulic systems are not a mystery to me, but the practicalities are beyond my experience. Agree that the...

    Home shop hydraulic test tools?

    I was about to post this same thread a few weeks ago and got sidetracked and just struck out on my own. From that experience, I have to agree w/ Excavator that home user prices and hydo test kits are mutually exclusive. I'm working on a Deere 310SG at the moment, so I first determined fittings...

    Compressor recommendations or what to avoid.

    Good to know about Mi-T-M’s customer disservice. I feel that way about Samsung A/V products. I hadn’t considered Dewalt, as they seemed to fall into the big box crowd. I’ll take a look at their line. Do you know who’s making Grainger’s Speedaire line these days? My major issue w/HF, besides...

    Compressor recommendations or what to avoid.

    I'm looking for a gas-powered portable compressor, preferably 2-wheel, >10 CFM @90 PSI. I'm pretty sure the big box offerings aren't going to work, but the interweb claims about all the other contenders just leave me guessing. Some offerings that seem to fit the bill include Mi-T-M M1-PH65-20M...

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    Just read through Boone's detailed 310E valve bank rebuild--great pics. That clarified most of the mysteries here..... Again, thanks fort the assist, mg2361.

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    From looking where these kits are used on other components, I'm kinda getting the feeling that the kit callouts and artwork are not entirely complete. The 538 kit applied to the bucket valve only lists 2 components while 4 are listed here. Idx 33 and 34 indicate the kits both contain Idx 12. The...

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    So, next question....can't find a part number for the seals on the load sense poppet in the priority valve. There is no part number associated w/ idx 12 on the attached diagram. That seal is part of seal kits AT314538 and AT280406, but I can't find the constituent part details anywhere. Any...

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    Thanks. Approaching 57, I know that feeling all too well. Of course, I’ve also ordered simple hardware and received major structural items, so my trust in published IPBs isn’t real high. This info makes it much easier to figure out the adapters I need to cobble up a hydro test kit for this...

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    Firstly, thanks for the info. Did you mean AT303065? This is an SG. The parts book shows the 66 hose for a regular 310.

    Deere 310SG pump flow testing

    Next question(s), same vein. Is there a Deere component part reference for hose fabrication? The online part lists are not always clear on connector configurations, even though the notes may say to fab the hose. Also, what are the STI numbers in Deere's part lists? The serial breaks are clear...

    Volkswagon buys Navistar

    My first car was a '60 Beetle. I paid $450 for it in '81. It was 7 different colors and had no interior to speak of, but it got me all over San Diego county.
