I think that’s the jist of it. Cheap fitting cheap o rings. I broke one just tightening it. But absolutely I have been out ripping stumps and ripping rock. Machine runs great. And remember before conversion I couldn’t even hardly use machine without it bogging down.Are they just poor quality fittings? You still happy with the conversion?
Not sure I unplugged mine and it fixed the issue with not being able to stick in and boom up at same time. But mine wasn’t bogging the machine it was just very slow or would almost stop. If the fuse is pulled it should be same as in pluggingMine is running better than ever but it's a 790e deere only thing is pilot pump seems to be a little high on pressure and all functions work but if I boom in and bring stick in it bogs engine this is with two shims pvc isn't unplugged but I did pull fuse . should I just unplug?
Alright everyone. Machine has been working great operating great
Although the other day my thumb got stuck closed. I replaced thumb sylonoid as well as my handle with a sure grip handle. Now I go to open thumb and it won’t open. Hose at the sylonoid jumps but no pressure to the cylinder. If I go to close thumb it works. So thumb is struck closed. Thinking it may be main relief for thumb part of valve body. Anyone have any insight. I’m screwed right now I have a bunch of brush to haul and I need my thumb to work
Yes I had a mechanic come out we checked the spool in the valve body then we’re gonna check the line to see if anything had gotten in it when the mechanic realized my open side hose was going to my return so when I changed my thumb sylonoid I mixed up 2 hoses. 600 bucks for him to tell me I messed up. Oh well I’m up and ripping again and making money. Yeah let me know if you need a hand you will wish you had done conversion soonerGet your thumb working?
Did you disconnect your pvc? My machine was really slow when I tried to stick in and boom up at same time. I unplugged pvc and it seemed to fix my issueGlad it’s working. Conversion is done. And took your advise and had new hoses made and fitting ready to roll. Blew through 3-4 o-rings on the crazy long fitting that goes into the valve body. Got it replaced and then one goes on the new block. But other than that fine. Still issues with boom up, so it tells me I have to do some cleaning/inspection of shuttle valves /spools
