Yes, all worked beforehand. Electrics seem ok, they work on ignition, horn, digital console display. There is a connector on the alternator with 2 yellow wires coming off it, which Ive disconnected and reconnected to check for a broken wire. Not sure where those 2 wires go to as they get lost in braiding. I will take a pic and add it here for suggestions
when dead ending the blade circuit???
field/charge light
Nope, I had all the circuit connected. I could repeat the blade dead ending with the solenoid connected straight to the battery, so bypassing the dead man switch?
IMHDO you have reached the point where you need to check the pressure on the servo circuit Stauf test point to, ensure the RV isn't dumping your pressure --
the notes say three, so could reasonably assume they are the adaptors feeding the pump lines into the valve block .... there are three other lines - two, to/from the servo controls and one feeding the servo accumulator, but I'd be checking the pump line adaptors first (can't see as the accumulator'd be fitted with a filtered adaptor??)IMHDO you have reached the point where you need to check the pressure on the servo circuit Stauf test point to, ensure the RV isn't dumping your pressure --
according to the book of words, the servo RV setting is 17 bar
this also mentions ''filtered adaptors'' in the ''notes'' section - might have a blockage, but very odd to suddenly go AWOL unless the RV has failed (split/broken seal/O ring? )
as cheap as it comes ...
Afraid, I'm not sure this test is going to help. As that is testing pressure after the solenoid... Which given there is no movement from any pilot functions would kind point to no pressure at this test point. A more valid test would be at the other test port "PT". This would indicate pump pressure is reaching the relief/regulating valve... Wouldn't require a low pressure guage either.
Just to confirm, I need to unscrew the valve from the block, then test this with coil connected (just with ignition on) the coil should energise the valve and I should see some sort of movement and audible click if it is operating correctly. I have ordered some bungs as suggested to reduce oil leakage when valve is removed. Cheers guysAfraid, I'm not sure this test is going to help. As that is testing pressure after the solenoid...

I suspect that solenoid isn't energised properly or the valve jammed. The hydraulics stopping since seat has been removed could be a curve ball... If the OP unscrews the cartridge that has the solenoid ontop and then operates the deadman lever. See if an audible 'click' can be heard and the valve movement seen. Easy to do and requires no test equipment. Don't run the engine with the valve removed unless you want an oily mess to tidy up.
yeh - do not run the engine with the cartridge removed ... will have full pressure behind it and make a hell of a mess ... ign on and operate the dead man lever to see if the shuttle is operating
Yes exactly that.
I’ve been caught out a few times overlooking the obvious and digging into the guts of a machine
I did mention the right hand side dead man a while back Ollie, but as you say, this has a full cab so 'shouldn't' be there
I was thinking the arm might not be but the switch could well be under the plastic cover. Be an easy fix if it is... Worth checking?I did mention the right hand side dead man a while back Ollie, but as you say, this has a full cab so 'shouldn't' be there
can't see as it would be though as doesn't have an arm to operate it/keep it closed
....... but anything's possible with a Jake ....... however, the solenoid is operating according to Moog .. so either a stuck/non operating cartridge or lack of oil pressure are most likely ATM
has been cancelled due to weather, so going to try and crack on with more testing tomorrow/Sat - still appreciate all yer thoughts and comments above - we will get this bad boy going eventually!
