    FWIW: The B7100 WSM says crank it with the starter at 200 to 250rpm for 5 to 10 seconds. That's a range of 8 to 21 compression strokes...

    Don't mistake volume for pressure. Pressure only increases when volume is restricted and the discharge can be calculated by Q=K(P^-2)...

    There are Schrader valves and then there are Schrader valves. Well, different valve cores anyway. Compression testers should be fitted...

    I was being facetious. The right bearing was a sliding fit but the left bearing is smaller.

    So far in this thread: B7200: not press fit. L3901: press fit B7800: one of each.

    I'm not saying it is counterfeit, just looking for a possible explanation. NSK is one of the top bearing manufacturers in the world --...

    I think you are overestimating the thickness of a SSQA system. There's not much difference unless you are putting an adapter on a pin-on...

    That is, ummm, unexpected ! I wonder if you ended up with a counterfeit NSK. Apparently counterfeit bearings are a thing and...

    If your loader has a PB port then that should be the one that goes back to the 3ph (and other functions). There should be a separate...

    No question: one cannot tell how heavy something is from a photo. Hopefully the reduction in weight is sufficient to offset the...
