It’s what I do!
Or by following the hose from the pilot pump ( small gear pump, on the end of the main pump)
didn't know whether it had one or just reduced from main? .... never been in the guts of oneOr by following the hose from the pilot pump ( small gear pump, on the end of the main pump)
I don't doubt it was a particularly bad batch but I've had a few since and they haven't lasted as long as the ones i usually get from local hyd supplier. Admittedly breaker on 240 would probably be better in 3/4 fittings but other 1/2 stand it much better (and 1/2 are a lot cheaper).Must have been a bad batch, I trash any other brand in a month or two, but I still have Hombury fittings in use that were originally fitted on my Hyundai over five years ago. Nowadays I won't use anything else.
Can be recharged if the diaphragm isn't split.Didn't take too much finding tbh - asked for a replacement price - im guessing it's a non serviceable item ? View attachment 32190

Usually an ISO A type, but they (the female) are fixed by the collar rather than the body, so when the pipe is pulled or someones forgot to remove it and drives offWhat are the fittings on most tractors, Just push them in and pull them out?
yeh if the diaphragm is in one piece there might be a Schraeder valve hiding under the plug with a cross in it, on the end ... looks to be plastic ... would need a dry nitrogen recharge, to 60-80% of whatever pressure the system functions at, probably ... at least you have a few numbers on it and might get lucky finding a replacement ... try Whitehouse Products for a sub..Can be recharged if the diaphragm isn't split.

trouble with the ISO A,s is they leak as they're disconnected and dribble a thimbleful-ish of oil .... damned sight easier to use though .... and a quarter of the price of FFsUsually an ISO A type, but they (the female) are fixed by the collar rather than the body, so when the pipe is pulled or someones forgot to remove it and drives off, the whole fitting pulls out slightly and because it fixed by the collar it has the same effect as pulling the collar back, to release the pipe.

Going to have to go looking - had a price from usual uk supplier and they can't ship to France because full of nitrogen![]()

WTF??How would they get a machine with them fitted to France then?![]()
Bon questionHow would they get a machine with them fitted to France then?![]()
40 bar I would guess, but the steel container is hardly likely to just explode!!WTF??.... they must get shipped around the world charged .... not like they're flying 'em around the place is it and not the only sort of thing that gets transported pressurised ????
fill pressure is normally 60-80% of whatever pressure the system/circuit functions at, apparently Mick, so if the average servo circuit runs circa 35 bar, would be a lot lower than 40 .. be closer to 21 - 28bar and as you say, the body of the accumulator is hardly likely to explode ... usually 3mm wall thickness, minimum .40 bar I would guess, but the steel container is hardly likely to just explode!!
Am I going to have to buy a whole digger thenA lot of things get moved around as part of something fine but as an individual part not so easily. Take e bike batteries for example fine if its with you're bike but not if the bike isn't with it.
Yes, a yellow oneAm I going to have to buy a whole digger then![]()
