    Plumbing hydrolics for an Allis Chalmers 5015

    I had to go look at it. Actually I moved the filter from being between the pump and the valve to between tank and valve. It was restricting the flow to the pump. It has always been in the return side. Now the pump gets fluid from both valve and tank.

    Plumbing hydrolics for an Allis Chalmers 5015

    Should have said when I got it, the filter was between pump and valve, in the high pressure line

    Plumbing hydrolics for an Allis Chalmers 5015

    On my Du-Al loader with dual cylinders, the two main posts are tapered rectangular tubes ( smaller at the top) and one is the reservoir. The filter should not be between the tank and the pump, it should be in the low pressure hose between the valve and the tank. My tractor had it between...

    Pricing pallet forks

    I got a real nice p air of big heavy duty forks at my local steel recycler ( Pacific Steel) in Butte MT. I’ve been getting all sorts of good stuff there for years. The forks cost me 50 cents a pound. These guys set them aside sometimes but this time I asked the guy running the crane if he...

    Tilt cylinder mounting

    Thanks to both replies, I can do that. Seems like the valve has a pressure relief, I’ll check that out too

    Tilt cylinder mounting

    I’m putting a better bucket on my old Du-Al loader which is on my 57 Case 400. I made new shackles to attach to the bucket and before I locate where to drill the holes for the 4 pins I’d like to know does it matter whether a cylinder piston stops by reaching its own maximum or stops by being...

    No PTO pump pressure

    Maybe I'm done with your maybe's and just want my questions answered. I'm running a filter on the return and the return to the T and it will work just Fine. THE END

    No PTO pump pressure

    Thanks. What about putting the filter on the return, without tapping into the tank, and leaving the T where it is? Rich B1 above says nothing should be between tank and pump period, but maybe he's just talking about obstruction, whereas the return line would just be adding more fluid to...

    No PTO pump pressure

    After reading RuchB1’s post forget that last question about the bypass. I’ll put a filter on the return or a screen on the tank but probably a filter on the return

    No PTO pump pressure

    Thanks for answering my question.I read louNY’s attached report on suction filtering. So if the only way to improve my system is to tap the tank, I’ll consider it. It brings two questions to mind. Where should the return line enter the tank (top bottom or middle). and would putting a filter...

    No PTO pump pressure

    I appreciate seeing that information, which is the first time I have seen it. You said “if it has vacuum bypsss”. If what has vacuum bypass? Not much moisture here in Montana, especially this year, but I’ve been running this loader 30 years now and it’s still hot the original pump. I only...

    No PTO pump pressure

    looks like I put my reply into the quote above, sorry about that. I’m still learning this forum stuff. My reply starts with “ I repeat, I’m not arguing the terminology. Whatever you say the name of a line is that’s what it is. So where do you think I should put the filter? You said it...

    No PTO pump pressure

    Yes into the rest of the system, IF it’s allowed to get that bad. So here’s my question to you. Let’s say you’re on the tractor loading manure or gravel. You’re busy with the controls. A hose bursts, you lose pressure, the controls no longer control anything, right? You’re out of...

    No PTO pump pressure

    Thank you, I saw that too. Well I’ll just keep an eye on it and if it doesn’t flow fast enough I’ll lose power but the pump won’t go dry. I’ll worry about it then. . It’s an old pump and I’ve got two spares. But I doubt it’ll get damaged before it shuts the loader down. I’ll get a 25 micron...
