    I'm rebuilding the main control valve in my Cat 304CR (NAD00987) and I'm having trouble determining which way to install the spools. Some of the spools look like they're the same on each end -- others are clearly meant to be installed in a particular orientation. All of the spools have a...

    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?
