Ed's 77 Terex 72-41

[mountainguyed67]

Do you need to use a flow divider to make the forks move evenly or does one close onto a log with the second one following when the first one bottoms out?

The forks only had a tee, no valve.

 

[mountainguyed67]

I think you guys aren’t understanding what I’m doing. I will push a momentary button that’ll switch one lever from dump to clamp/unclamp, so I will still have the finesse of the lever. Then I let go of the button and it goes back to dump again.

My apologies Ed I now understand what you are doing. I guess you realize you will be limited by not being able to use all functions at once.

I guess you realize you will be limited by not being able to use all functions at once.

Yes, I’m not punching a clock though. I could let go of the momentary button and tilt if need be, then push again and clamp or unclamp. I could get use to that.

 

[mountainguyed67]

So you’re saying the original Terex way was what you thought I was doing? Open or close, no lever? I’m glad I didn’t find one to buy used, I would have found out the hard way. Actually it sounds like none would have survived.

Nut is here.

Not sure that nut will work the nylon locking isn't Terex Green! Or Cat yellow! Maybe if you sneak it in when no one's watching you can get away with it!

 

[mountainguyed67]

I guess it’s too late to paint it. The truth is already out there.

hey, you never told us what you found under the valve cover with the injectors. or did i miss it somewhere?

Yes inquiring minds need to know!

I haven’t made it back up. Now it’s snowing up there, and supposed to be about 13 degrees tonight. I haven’t attempted that driveway with snow on it. It slopes with the hill, and gravity will probably have different ideas than I do. It’s not necessarily put off until spring though, it often warms back up before winter sets in for good. We’ve had a couple years recently with a month and a half of no snow after the first fall snow.

The nearby town 300 feet higher.


Also nearby, and 1,200 feet lower.

Dang, what's with all the white stuff? Wife and I did two 50+ mile rides on the motorcycles the last couple days, would have done another today but bad headache killed that idea! Had temps in the upper 60's and low 70's for a few days! Might be more the next day or so!

Might want to move from California to Central NY to get away from that stuff, but if you do make it fast cause in a couple weeks I think it will be a bit different here!

 

[mountainguyed67]

The loader’s at 5,200 feet in the mountains, that’s what’s will all the white stuff. Ha ha. It doesn’t snow down here where we live. No, I won’t be moving to New York, I know better than that. My wife is from Buffalo originally. I hope it melts off and I can get back up there, we’ll see.

The snow is putting a damper on the fire.

 

[mountainguyed67]

I got this and annular cutters to drill holes for the bucket teeth.

Well here near Syracuse we are looking at around 75ºF today, won't make any promises for next Monday!

 

[mountainguyed67]

Down here it’s supposed to warm up 11 degrees over the next week, up there it’s supposed to warm up 17 degrees in the same time. Still too cold for the snow to melt though.

 

[mountainguyed67]

Is there a part number in the Detroit book for that holdown?

Did you see my response to this on page 19?

 

[mountainguyed67]

I didn’t pay any attention to the backup ring when I put it in the first cylinder, oops. Should I take it apart, it might be backwards?

Buffalo have 4 feet

I looked back on the thread- Nige said on Jul 23 that the cylinder groups were either 6J4513 or 6J4515, the difference being the stroke. Apparently, this application is the longer stroke, but which part no. is the longer stroke is not clear.

Jon.

Sorry, I only just noticed this and should have made it clear earlier.
6J-4513 Cylinder Assy is 19.38" stroke
6J-4515 Cylinder Assy is 23.90" stroke.
Both cylindewrs are 5.00" bore. Difference in parts between the two are the rod and the cylinder barrel. Everything else is the same.
