    Foam filled tire options

    I am interested in the perusing this option a little. I have a couple requests for quote out, but was wondering if anyone had direct experience with getting existing tires filled with foam. Tire size is 31-15.50x15. Useage is just occasional farm use on a compact loader. Ideal for me would...

    Seal Quench Fluid

    Is that a Canadian thing? Got a new water pump. Belt driven with an oil filled bearing housing for the impeller shaft. The spec is for the bearings to run in VS46 hydraulic fluid. There is an additional shipping tag that says that seal quench fluid must be used before starting the pump. The...

    Wiper ring/seal identification - Hydraulic valve spool question.

    I wonder if anyone would know the actual name of the white ring in this picture? Sort of like a wiper ring, but a little different. The raised "lip" fits inside the ID of the metal retainer pictured. It puts pressure on the actual o-ring that seals against the spool. It's like a back up ring...

    Daisy Chain or series connection of open center hydraulic valves

    With an open center hydraulic system on a front end loader. Say i have a 2 spool hydraulic valve(lift & tilt) and want to add a 3rd function(grapple or hammer). Is it as simple as it seems to be to connect them together in series? Taking into consideration similar flow ratings of the valves...

    75/25 or 90/10 for welding loader arm?

    I have been looking for an excuse to try a different shield gas lately. For all of my general welding, I have been using 75/25 as that is what my supplier normally carries. But have the option of getting some 90/10. I was planing on using(making due) my normal .035 solid ER70s-6 wire. Welder...

    Brake fluid or oil in sealed wet disc brakes?

    Next item on my rebuild list is the brakes. If it matters, it is a Waldon loader. They are hydraulically applied wet discs. It has a conventional type master cylinder that supplies oil to the brakes. They have been working when I press the pedal, but I took the cap off to check the fluid and...

    Yale forklift control valve - steering pressure

    Unfortunately I do not have access to a service manual for this truck/valve. It is from a Yale GLC050, I belive. The valve itself is a yale 9099166. I wonder if anyone is familiar with it, or has a section of manual to share... There are two relief adjustments on the valve. I assume the...

    Yale forklift hydraulic control valve. Convert/modify?

    Well, i would like to convert the mast section of the control valve to two way operation. I had hoped it would just take some slight modification of the spool, but now that it is apart, I am not so sure. I believe it is a yale GL050, but am not sure, as the tag is missing. The tag that is on...

    Eliminating priority valve from steering?

    Currently my loader is setup with a single gear pump for the hydraulics and steering. I assume the boom/bucket valve is open center. The orbital steering valve has a priority valve built onto it. The line from the pump goes to the steering 1st, then to the other valve. I must replace the...

    Steering problem - only steers one way.

    Well, let's try this one. Same Waldon loader from my other thread - finally got the engine running and checked the basic functionality of steering and drive. Good news is that the hydraulics and drive seem to work. However, there is a problem with the steering. The loader has a single...

    Compact Loader Tire size?

    It is a Waldon 7000 which specs a 14x17.5 10 ply tire size. After picking it up recently, I have been doing some work on it to get it operational and I have not yet operated this loader. So, I don't really have a personal baseline. Currently, it sits on solid, smooth 825-15 6.50 tires. They...

    Resurrecting a Waldon 7000. Electrical/hydraulic question.

    Hello, I have gotten my hands on a Waldon 7000 loader which I think is a 1995 model. Although, I believe the engine is newer than that(1999?) due to the in-line Bosch injection pump, rather than the rotary style shown in the parts book for the 1995. But that may be another thread. :) Anyway...
