It’s what I do!
Ok for a start those spools are different, the centres are aligned differently, so by changing them they wouldn’t be operating in the same way! That’s what I needed to know!
I will strip it back down and take some pics for youWhat about the spool from the fast track valve can you show me that?
im going to strip it now and get some pics.I will strip it back down and take some pics for you
i dont sorryDo you have access to pressure gauges?
These are pics of the 2 speed spool.What about the spool from the fast track valve can you show me that?
I did think the lift and the tip should be the same. but i dont think they are ? and i cant find any information online to what spool number goes where to make sure they are correctOk so replace the lift spool with the two speed spool, put it all back together and see what happens, the reason the other spool is different is because the two speed spool only works one way! By the way they work, the lift and tip spools should be the same profile![]()
They are both rams, so would require oil both sides of the piston to operate on this type of system the two speed track works in a single direction to increase oil flow!I did think the lift and the tip should be the same. but i dont think they are ? and i cant find any information online to what spool number goes where to make sure they are correct
do i need to use new seals every time i pull it apart?They are both rams, so would require oil both sides of the piston to operate on this type of system the two speed track works in a single direction to increase oil flow!
On the spools not necessarily if you are careful when stripping it!do i need to use new seals every time i pull it apart?
ive Stripped it down and i am waiting for new o rings ( better safe then sorry)On the spools not necessarily if you are careful when stripping it!
Bit of Sherlock Holmes fitting there, but I think we may now be getting somewhere!ive Stripped it down and i am waiting for new o rings ( better safe then sorry)
it seems like the spools was in the wrong order too. if the lifting ones are meant to be the same.
the 2 speed spool was in the lifting slice.
anyways ill get back on it at the weekend, with new o rings and spools in the correct order
I am just glad to hear that you have persevered as I was getting worried!Hi , back again
Finally rebuilt it, with that i think is the correct spools in the right places, tracking spools the same and the lifting spools the same.
I have ran it for about an hour to try and get any air locks out and this is what's happening now.
Also used new seals just incase
2 speed no longer works, only goes slow
tips fine un loaded and loaded
lifts fine also loaded and unloaded ( no longer sticking on the way down )
and it back to be being a bugger to turn under load
I am just glad to hear that you have persevered as I was getting worried!
I think someone have been trying to fix a problem before me and all they have done is caused another.Glad to have helped, do you think the dumper has been like this from the factory or someone has been fitting the wrong parts somewhere along the line?
