    Hello I am having starting issues with a cat gp45k 2004 propane forklift. It seems to me like it’s the regulator has a lot of pressure but I’m not sure if this is normal or not.

    Getting a petibone 40scp crane into gear

    Recently bought a pettibone crane got two weeks to move it. I got it running and got all the functions to work except I can’t get it to drive the most important one. Gotta load it on a lowboy.

    Homemade hydraulic flow tester

    I need a hydraulic flow tester to test pumps on my bobcat excavator. I am most likely never going to use this tool again or at-least very rarely. OTC makes the tools for right around $3000 and just seems unjustifiable for me to spend that much on a relatively basic tool I will never use again. I...

    1986 c30 roll back tow truck blowing the seals out the hydraulic

    The pump is mounted on the side of a sm465 I think there needs to be a lock ring of some sorts I may use a lathe and cut a groove and stick a pin or something in there to keep the bushing in place.

Maybe the last owner lost the lock ring and...

    1986 c30 roll back tow truck blowing the seals out the hydraulic

    Hey I’ve got a old c30 roll back tow truck. Seems like whenever the bed bottoms out it blows the seal clean out the rear of the hydraulic. We tried repacking it twice and every-time it over pressurized and boom goes the seal and bushing right out the back. Any idea what could be causing this?
