well,
hydraulic shop says can test the pressure relief if i take the whole valve assembly in....just wonder what kind of mess that will make with 12 hoses!!
gonna have to mark each to make sure where supposed to go for sure.....if i can even get to some of these blame things..

well gotta do it

got her off and will check with shop..probly some dough involved and hurry and wait!!! left one hose hooked up big use fitting from /to reservoir in way will see

We'll the good news is that the 3spool.....VICKERS.. valve checks out o.k. relief checks out to 2500....checking to see if smaller available....
guess that means my pump needs attentions !!!!!
so clean up and attach spaghetti back, in order!...by the way test cost was $63, but got 3 new hose fittings, with swivel nuts.....free

Definitely need to do something to reduce that, along with fixing the pump, not good for the system to be able to run at over double the design limit. If there is no cartridge available to go into your control valve; you may be able to get a stand alone adjustable relief valve, and plumb it into the pressure line from the pump, ahead of your control valve. Add to the spaghetti.

well for time being with pump pushing 600psi surely can't hurt till i get other pump.....by the way what pressure do the cam pumps push?

I believe you mentioned in an earlier post that the relief setting was supposed to be 1040 psi to 1080 psi at a fast idle, from your book. A good pump would do that much and more I expect. Lavoy or Stan have likely seen how much higher they can push and can answer that question better. Lavoy said it would be good if you could get a 1050 psi cartridge relief, if they make that rating. The Vickers manual I found read like they go from 500 psi to 3000 psi in 250 psi steps for their cartridge relief valves.

thats what i am hoping the shop will come up with, i told him to check out what he can get for that valve, but they close at 4pm and aint open on weekends at all and yes i want to hold it max at1080 or so whatever numbers will do it. that way if i ever have to get a different pump it is protected ..
just kinda curious as to what those pumps do put out

The pump must have been capable of more than 1080 psi or the main relief wouldn't be that much. As far as how much pressure a cam pump in excellent condition could develop before it blows the seals or splits the housing, I can't tell you.

Here is what I found in my 420/430 service manual for the cam pump capacity (supposed to be the same pump as the 440IC) in the section on the hydraulic pump, similar might be in your manual:

"The pump is self priming and has a capacity of approximately 8 gallons per minute when operating at rated engine speed (1850 rpm) and 800 psi."

The 440 hydraulic system pressure is apparently higher than the 420/430s from what you posted. I don't know if the pump will still do 8 gpm at 1080 psi, it might or it might be a bit less.

As far as the Vickers replacement relief cartridge if they can't do a setting between the 1040 psi and the 1080 psi I would go with the 1000 psi cartridge before adding the external adjustable relief valve they talk about in the Vickers manual, if it were mine. You might find you have to change a section of your valve body to have the extra port to put that added relief valve in.

Hi,

Yes, that is correct. The 420/430/440IC used the same cam-driven gear pump. The issue with too high a relief valve setting is it will distort the pump in some manner. The gears and housing all have little clearance by design and overpressure has to distort something. At which time the pump pressure drops due to increased clearances.

The real issue is that every time you come up against a cylinder stop while operating, the system overpressurizes and the bypass opens. On the original unit, the valve buzzes exactly like it was an electric warning buzzer. Now, I have not had the bypass on my 420c-III open while digging as it has enough chops to lift the machine up first, but I have had it open when I wound up going too far down in soft stuff.

With too high a bypass, I suspect a small amount of pump damage occurred whenever a cylinder hit the end point.

Overpressure a cam pump and you blow the center section.

I would pull the pump apart and check it out, nothing says it is any better than the one you are taking off unless it has already been gone through.

Well folks , got my replacement pump, and it is a bit of a gold or lite tan color under the yellow......seems nice and tight....also latest word from hydraulic shop says they can get the 1000psi relief valve cartridge for the Vickers...tho that may take 60 days! lead time? wonder if they gonna make the thing., sure don't want to blow the pump with 2500psi relief in valve. cartridge aint cheap

Re: jd440ic charging issues & hyd cyl issues.pressure valve

Post by dtoots1 » Sat Jun 16, 2018 9:32 pm

ok..latest info is my pressure relief valve has arrived at the shop....of course they closed on Saturdays so will have to wait till monday..

do any of you folks have a six way blade with a vickers 3 spool valve system? I know the relief valve is down under the input hose with its fitting directly in the way of working on replacing....just wondering if i can get the old 2500 valve out and the 1000 back in without either loosing something or screwing something up... i will have to take a close look at the new piece to see before i take the old out....last time i loosened it , it popped out against the hydraulic line fittings and saved my butt....so i suspect will literally have to take the whole thing off to work on getting valve replaced.

hopefully it is the correct piece to fit in this thing as did not seem to take too long to get the piece, . can't be too much call for 1000psi pressure relief valves.

will get rest of story Monday or after i see what i gotta do.

Re: jd440ic charging issues & hyd cyl press valve and pump

Post by dtoots1 » Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:39 pm

well the good news is......pressure relief valve is in...had to take entire 3 spool valve and hose off to get the thing in....here is what has been stumping me.....the spring from the 2500psi relief valve is basically half the thickness and strength of the 1000psi spring that came with it..somehow that don't make sense to me.....by the way the dimed thing cost me $226, but at least they were able to get it...also took the old cam pump out cleaned up made a new gasket for the 'new' pump, primed it and got her installed....started her up to listen for wrong noises.....but twerent NONE so must have been a good job....took all dang day...still gotta put nose back in....cleaned rad and repainted it ,,,straightened fins

by the way blowup pic shows full list of relief valves and numbers for the vickers ..cm11?.....jumps from 1000 to 1250
