Hi there!
I'm running a D8H & scoop. This is the first time I’ve operated the machine with a scoop hooked up (not sure the make of the scoop..).
The reason for my post; I can’t retract the dumb cylinder / tail door! I’m assuming the problem is the operator .
I pulled the change-over valve / 'switch' of the top of the scoop thinking it might need sorting. Everything looks fine. Nothing there to cause any problems. The cutting-edge lifts / lowers ok and the apron lifts and lowers + the tail gate will travel forward, I just cant retract it.
I was hoping to get a hand-over from the previous owner, unfortunately, no such luck. I have attached several images for reference. Any sage council?
While it's more than likely operator, error I did notice that:
1) the 1/2 inch rubber hose running from line 3 in the pic to the 'change-over valve' / switch on top of the scoop was dry. The way it's set-up, the one way value would direct a very small charge of oil from the 'switch' to line 3.
2) In the 'cab' of the dozer, pictured, there appears to be a missing linkage from the forward most lever (that lifts / lowers the apron) to the small lever that sits on the back of the hyd oil tank. Could be that a link has fallen off?
Controls: The rear most lever in the cab lifts / lowers the blade. Moving the rear most lever towards the seat (LHS) while holding the forward most lever rearward ejects. Now if I could just work out how to move the tail gate back again...
