Re: reverser oil flow question

You have a secret squirrel. Or someone used to have one.

A better question might be: How many acorns are there?

Re: Setting clutch on a JD450()

I saw a picture where someone cut out an outline in plywood and used a sliding mechanics rule, but it didn't have measurements or a scale template to reproduce it though.

No oil under it

Re: 440 Parts Machine near Seattle

There was a 1010 track loader down that way just last week or so too. It seems to have disappeared.

Start dragging home strays like that and the whole pasture will be full of them soon.

But if you see an early 300, 310 backhoe, let me know... :roll:

Re: reverser oil flow question

"sucking air" is a possibility.

I'm not sure sitting on the hydro tank would with the levers and seat off is going to get to you the "there it is!" moment...

Maybe I am misunderstanding...

Pics of my girls this morning...

...all fifteen thousand and 2 of them. Still working on all their names. I'm trying out the picture server. It's a bit ambiguous on the linkage. I can be more descriptive of the BBCode fragments and where the URL's are coming from if anyone wants greater detail. I finally rooted out that alder stump...

Re: reverser oil flow question

I've always found it a bit of a crap shoot taking something apart when you don't know what's wrong with it.

It does play into the saying that if you take something apart enough times, you'll eventually have 2 of them.

Did you get your wife a new strainer?

Re: Just wanted a new flip phone....

Oh I dearly love my wife so its all in jest. She did want to deny it at first. WHAT? followed by STOP YELLING AT ME! The hearing aids she gets are profiled to amplify based on her specific loss ranges. And things are much better now, I just have to wait till she puts them in before having any kind o...

Re: Just wanted a new flip phone....

Hey all, My wife is hard of hearing and finally, after years of convincing that she indeed has a problem, got hearing aids. CAN'T HEAR, I SAID YOU CAN'T HEAR. NO, STAY THERE, I SAID YOU CAN'T HEAR, NOT COME HERE. NEVERMIND, JUST AGREE DEAR. She got some really cool ones that had Bluetooth connectivi...

Re: Just wanted a new flip phone....

Hi amos, I, for one, think you shouldn't keep things so bottle up and really tell us what you think about it. My daughter wanted a standalone music player. No such dinosaur anymore, everyone has a player on a smart device synchronized with a micro-monetized cloud-based streaming service. My grandmot...

Re: reverser oil flow question

ok, random thought while gazing at the flow diagram. On the diagram, it shows the test port as on the shift bypass valve. I am curious if the gauge pulsation is that bypass valve moving from around. Interesting enough, if that valve fails in the closed position, oil would only be entering the clutch...

Re: reverser oil flow question

Hi Joe, A couple of observations. The pressure is steady and doesn't fluctuate until it reaches about 90 psi. Adding shims made this pressure fluctuation range move up. So it's somewhat responsive to pressure changes? Depressing the clutch should not dump pressure at the test port. How soon do you g...

Re: need Tachometer Cable for 350B

Just to clear up some possible misconception.

My 440 is a rubber-tired cable skidder modeled on a gen 1 3010, not an older crawler.
