Torch, Dave-eng, PoTreeBoy, Russell King,
This morning at 7:30 AM I went to the shop that makes my hydraulic hoses and had them make me a 5/8" x 7'-4" with only one end on it, the lady (Trish) who usually makes the hose was off today so someone else made it, come back with 2 ends on it, ok, no problem I can deal with it.
Got it back at my shop and rigged up a 90 with a pipe on it to go into the fill line, this hose was really long for 7 " measured it and it was 9'-4" long, oh well I'll test it before going back. Screwed it directly into the pump on one end and up to the filler hose on the other end. Moment of truth so to speak.
Preheated it, pulled the decompression knob and hit the starter, fired right up, so I let it run for a few minutes to warm up, then mashed the throttle. 750 RPMs. 1200 RPMs, 2000 RPMs, 2500 RPMs, 3000 RPMs, 3300 RPMs, great it's working.
Went back to my hose place and had them shorten the hose to 7'-4" like I wanted. Went back home and hooked it up to the controls and it worked perfect, lifted the bucket and rolled it just like it should.
There is a littler whine when I let the bucket down, but not on rolling the bucket, might need to look at going with a bigger hose on the lift cylinders on the down side. The pump seems to work faster than the old one too, didn't time it but it's quick to lift and drop, even the bucket rolls faster than before.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you guys, once it was working I put it right to work, been over 2 weeks and I have gotten behind, worked till 8 PM tonight, new lights bulbs work great also. Be back at it Monday as tomorrow is my day off except for feed animals. They don't care what day it is they just want to be fed. LOL
Thank you, guys, for hanging in there with me, you will never know how much I appreciate your help, I couldn't have figured it out without your help, I'm no where near the sharpest knife in the drawer, more like the dullest. LOL
Guys, Thank you. Take care and stay safe. God bless each of you.
