Church of American CapitalismWhat kind of church needs a bunch of incomplete Isuzu box truck chassis'?
But that had nothing to do with the uttering of @Blood that night......
"Lord let him answer the phone"
"Lord don't let Smokey pull up"
"Lord I promise to put all new shit if you just let me GTF out of Illionois.....sorry for the language"
Nawp. Washington doesn't seem to GAF about that much, unless they see other violations. Even then, they'd haul me in for a look-see after waving a guy through whose brakes were smoking like they were on fire.
They asked to see the logs in the QC. They wanted to see the graph. We'll still get scrutiny. Just in different areas. Like entering in the load information. Yes, they checked that.
We'll still be under the microscope. They're not stupid. They know most guys with the older trucks are going to know how to make a log look good. They won't be able to prove anything, even if it isn't correct. You and I both know how to write a comic book. So do the guys who have the older trucks.

DOT Fools. All of them and the DOT man was just going to let me slide on by I would call out the U.S. Marshalls to show them how my E-log was wrong
They need to Print out a sticker that says the truck is on E-logs and my brother in law is a U.S. Marshal

So he was into full blown gospel singing by the time you answeredI didn't.
It took me 22 minutes to notice the missed call and texts.

He wasn't totally up Four Asterisks Creek though.
He was hauling a bunch of rolling truck chassis' and they all had batteries on them.

Depends on how you define "done".
It's been reassembled and operational for a while now. Did everything I set out to do.
Might redo the loader hydraulic suction line though.

The loader won't work if it's been sitting a while. I have to put a little bit of air pressure into the hydraulic tank to force oil into the pump to get it started, then it works.
It's downhill 2 feet, horizontal 3 feet, then uphill about 6 inches to the pump. It should work fine...
Theory is air bubbles are getting into the oil and when I shut it down and let it sit, the bubbles in the horizontal section of the line slowly rise up. Most go up into the tank and disappear harmlessly but some of it goes up into the pump, creating like a vapor lock.
Redoing it so it's all downhill to the pump, so all of the bubbles go uphill into the tank is possible but would require cutting and welding on that pipe to make a sharp turn outwards in the front to go around the bottom of the hood/grille.
One thing I wanta do first though is run it a while, then back the rear tires onto wood blocks to elevate the rear and tilt that horizontal pipe upwards towards the tank, then leave it overnight and see what happens when I try it the next day.
I don't have a hill I could park it on.

do you know if the pump had vanes in it to provide the air bubbles? i never heard of air being needed in a hydraulic system. usually air locks the system. much like any cooling system. and air bubble can get in there during service and must be bled out. which can be a prink.
i just thought you may have had pics of it all ,painted up and such, with all the owrk you had done to it....done....

There's a short section of rubber hose between the steel pipe and the tank. They didn't have 1-1/4" ID rubber hose anywhere I looked. Just custom formed radiator hoses. But at Menard's I noticed on braided vinyl that it says it can be used for oils do I used it.
Now I've got a clear section on the suction line. Cool, cuz I can now see the oil without having to drain it.
The oil looks like tea. Kinda a transparent brown.
After I run it a bit, instead of transparent where I can see a warped view of objects behind it, it's translucent meaning no image, but light gets through. So it's full of tiny air bubbles.
Cavitation.
It's caused by the return. The diffuser. That UFO looking thing with a screen on it.
The guys at Miller Hydraulic said it's to slow down the oil returning from the pressure lines to the tank when I lower the loader arms. They said it's nothing like they'd ever seen before and showed me what a modern diffuser looks like. It's like a cross between an air filter and a lawnmower muffler. But the smallest one they had was the size of a bigtruck fuel filter and I don't think it'll fit in my oil tank.
They say the high velocity return oil blasting into the oil tank puts bubbles in it.
A diffuser slows it down, changing it from a high pressure, low volume flow to a high volume, low velocity.
What I forgot to ask is why not just run the return line lower so it discharges below the surface of the oil in the tank?
Without room for a modern diffuser in that oil tank I'm not really sure what else I can do other than re-route the suction line to the pump so the air bubbles can float up into the vented oil tank instead of the pump.
yeah, i think you would have to drill then tap a hole in the bottom of the tank, using i'd think, brass fittings. the oil would splash up and into the tank, from that new bottom fitting, and then a vent hole that has some sort of baffle to not allow oil from gushing out the top. i think doable, just how far you want to go with it.
i wonder how the old timers put up with that, back in the day when the tractor was brand new.?

That diffuser thing was damaged. Part of the screen was pulled out along the edge.
There's no way that can happen from fluid pressure behind it unless it was either clogged up or the fluid was frozen and thick as molasses. But it wasn't very dirty at all.
I fixed it.
Maybe some previous owner damaged it on purpose to reduce the pressure behind the screen or let some of the oil shoot out against the side of the tank instead of falling straight down.

Here's my other tractor.
4 cylinder gasser, probably 35-40 hp. Has a 3 point hitch and PTO but the hitch hydraulic control lever is plumbed to the mower deck lift cylinder and the PTO shaft is used for the pulley that runs the blades.
It's a 5 or 6 foot wide deck. It eats regular riding mowers for breakfast.
Every day.
It's been at a shop in town for 4 years now.
Trans is blown. Won't move at all. Them bastards keep saying they'll start on it "next week".
Here is the Ford tractor next to it for size reference.
I was just at that shop. Told 'em to fix the damn thing or haul it back to my house and I'll do it my damn self.
4 years and all they've done is remove the seat and an inspection cover on the trans.
And y'all make fun of me for taking 5 months to build a 35' x25'x14' heated, insulated and wired shop by myself.
I don't know how to rebuild a transmission but I can find one on Craigslist and put it in.

jammer
it is probably a pretty simple trans to rebuild,
and as far as the hydraulics just build a valve to switch between the 3 point and the mower cylinder

I was thinking of just adding another valve and teeing into the supply line from the pump and teeing its return into the one from the mower lift.
