Just wanted some info thread about non-electic Suzuki samurai power steering. Who’s done what, what’s worked or what hasn’t. had an idea to start this thread after a buncha DM-ing with crisbee1 and we both wondered about using a Saginaw ham can Yes there’s electric power steering but im not...

I have no clue about any of this, and I know some of you work on heavy equipment. So my truck at work, which we received new in December, has a 100gal aluminum hydraulic tank to run the trailer. I go to the land fill every day to empty said trailer. The road in and out is very rough and bouncy...

This is a new unused Eaton hydraulic vane pump. It comes with a foot mount base adapter. It is an 11 cubic inch pump that I have been holding onto for a while. 3/4" outlet and 1 1/4" inlet. Both are NPT. Its new from a power unit that i never built. IIRC i bought it from Progressive...

Looking for the parts to convert my truck to a nv4500 from the sm465. Let me know what ya got. 🍻 Jimbo

I hate drilling holes and dealing with shavings and cutting oil. Although it is necessary at times. My DIY plasma table does well but the precision of the hole is less than desired. I have tried letting the plasma cut the hole and then follow up will drilling to the final hole size. The...

was looking at building some hose crimping dies to use in my press, thought to look on aliexpress to see if any of their die sets were available separate from their machines https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809006894055.html this has me thinking, specifically the die retention strategy with...

I've got a double ended ram. I've got some newbie questions. 1) Does the ram have to be mounted dead middle of the axle? It seems like most who run them for full hydro mount them dead center. Is there anything that says I can't mount it significantly offset? Yes, it means different length...

Time to add a post hole digger setup to the Kubota L2502 to help install a few gate posts, solar panel mount poles and plant some trees. Originally planned on purchasing a 3 point post hole digger but figure a hydraulic system would make a fun project and work better. Solidworks files can be...

Likely a dumb question... I have several Greenlee punches in actual hole sizes (not conduit size, in this case). Greenlee, and some import hyd kits use 3/4-16 threads. Other kits (which I have) use M20-1.5 threaded rams/draw studs. Is there an easy way to use the metric driver with the...

Trying to help a customer of mine (I do machine work), and he is trying to find some parts for an old cylinder from I believe a 1970's truck with a dump/lift bed. The truck has a couple of cylinders with these spring steel cupped/slotted washers. Basically there are supposed to be 2 at the end...

I have some light scratches on my JD backhoe for my small tractor. I used to repair hydraulic gate operators for an old job (FAAC) so I understand the ins and outs. I assume I just need carefully file or emery cloth any snags. Once upon a time I was told that there’s a “jb weld type” product...

PSC Steering Ram - 1.5" Bore X 6" Stroke This was installed about a year ago on a new build and only driven about 100 road miles and 15 trail miles. Works perfectly. Reason for selling is that I need an 8” ram. Black paint overspray in second picture has been removed. $125 (Dallas, TX) $145...

I want to add a gravity tilt valve to my trailer at work. At first I thought just tee into the 2 lines and put a valve in, but then I remembered the rod will displace fluid and just letting it flow from one side to the other won't work. Is there an easy way to do this with the common 12v...

Looking for a cylinder for a log splitter project. Ideally 5x24.. if it’s a tie rod cylinder, it’s simple to shorten. I could get by with a 4.5”.. but prefer 5” bore. Can pay $$ or.. I have 2 never used 4x48 welded cylinders I’d love to trade.

I have a altec bucket lift on my Ford while I'm driving down the street the PTO is pushed down but on the way home sometimes the hydraulics will engage and I will have to shut the truck off to stop it after a while it stops happening until the next day or so what could it be?

Just discovered these on amazon. Why have I never seen one? They look awesome. These ones have two jaw option (4 lugs on the spider) the Harbor Freight ones only have 3 lugs, not that it matters because no Harbor Freight here.

The tilt cylinders on my clapped out forklift have been puking for the past year or so and I really need to tear them down and reseal them. What's your wrench of choice to pull off these types of nuts? I have some hook spanners for adjusting coil overs, but they feel a little too tight to...

I want to replace the peg leg jack on my trailer with a landing gear setup. Are hydraulic jacks worth the extra money? Or stick with the traditional hand crank style with a cordless drill adapter? There is already a battery for the winch on board.
