Thanks for the interest Wabco,
Need the how to on dismantling the crowd cylinder piston, esp removal of the retaining ring foward of the nut. the one I'm working on has been altered by a previous tech who drilled the nut & installed a set screw to lock it unto the shaft. Piston is still not quite as steady (tight) as I think it ought to be. Chewing seals as a result.
Also need control valve pressures to allow us to reset working speeds correctly. A hydraulic circuit diagram would also be helpful.

Found this site in Steve's signature on Lets Talk Snow.com. Known about it for a long time, but never signed up til i saw the Agriculture threads. Looks to be a great site.

I found you on a google search

Hi
Emil Banks form Northeastern Pa.
I live on the side of a mountain and own about 40 Acres I had a compact 4wd John Deere but it was not just enough of a machine for the type of wooded terrian i live on.
Traded it in for a 4640E Gehl skid steer works much better for me.
Pulling logs , road maintenance , that sort of stuff.
This is a great site!

Emil

I was trying to figure out why my 650 Kobelco loader wouldn't move. Still haven't. Interesting site though.
