Can you get a clearer image of the detail of the valve section in the schematic? The spools are a bit blurry and they are hard to make out. I almost forgot is you machine set up for JD/Backhoe controls or Cat/ISO? If ISO were the boom and arm valve sections swapped?

High idle on a diesel is generally what is referred to as full throttle.

Tekton is fine as well as most name brand tools. CDI is also a great option as they actually build the torque wrenches for many big name brands.

If you're asking the question, it's probably not worth it. Electronic torque wrenches are not really any more accurate than an old clicker style. They just have more features. The most used is that you can do angle measurements with them, which you can do with a an older manual style too.

If you have an oxy acetylene cutting torch you could cut a couple kerfs the length of the pin/bushing. That would shrink it similar to what lancing a pin does. If talented enough with a torch you could even cut through the pin to the bushing without harming it. I made new bushings for mine and...

"Mild steel" is a very broad term and I referred to structural steels. The main steel the excavators I work with are fabricated with grades of steel comparable to A656 steels. Generally in 70k psi tensile range, so nothing extreme. The thumb mount in @Tarmy's pic adds a lot of stiffening to the...

I probably first saw this when I was about 8-10 yrs old. It has stuck in my mind ever since.

My guess is that the end of this weld created a stress riser that was the origination of the crack as @Yooper mentioned. It looks like they started their beat out past the reinforcement plate instead of ending there like they should have. Best practice would have been to end the bead extended...

Yes they are probably one the larger names in the hydraulic sealing component business. I use them and Allegheny York for the most part when sourcing aftermarket seals. I am not sure who is the best to source from in Ontario but I can ask my colleague that lives in Ontario if he has a...

There are only two safety switches for the start sequence. That is the clutch switch and the PTO switch. The PTO is disengaged correct? You are depressing the clutch fully correct? It has to be as far as it will go for it to start. Other than that it s the same stuff, ign. switch, relay...

As Stated that has been broken for quite some time and should have been noticed. That would have made the repair much easier. I would probably just cut whatever is holding the stick in one piece and put backer plates behind the cracks and vee the broken areas back to clean metal. Weld where the...

My recommendations would be to either remove the grease fitting, clean out the passage with a long drill bit or whatever you have that will fit, fill the passage with penetrant, reinstall the fitting and try after it soaks for a while. Second would be remove the pin as you are asking and clean...

Everyone here would sh*t themselves if they had seen some of the bills I have seen and had to deal with regarding technicians and management either loading the parts cannon or running down the wrong path with blinders on. Some of them are well over $200k. The last one, earlier this week was...

https://nosted.com/en/trygg/ This is their website. It has some help info but not much and not easy to find. The info I have downloaded is mainly for the SMT chains which is not what you have. I would make sure which chains you have before going too far. You can email the questions but they ar...
