Hehehe ^^^ Iirc the fittings on my adjuster valve were referred to as 'orb', but also as 'npt'! Iirc it was npt I used in the end- haven't needed any o ring face seal / orb fittings yet. Nice buy DOH, and HCS with the EM 15- Yes Leking has claimed them in the past - you could search thread...

That's not any picture of mine. No I def don't have any poteniometer on the machine. Highest tech thing is a solenoid lockout for pilot control down on the main valve body

BMR-315 is what they used in these. I can tell you everything definitely cost more than double their quoted price by the time all said/done for this import. What a freaking fiasco. Somehow the stupid importer got away with 'DDP' and I was still left with another 10% charge for last transit. Even...

I took my house motor off months ago and video'd that the slop was internal (posted here and also found on my chan). Zero perceptible play in ring/gear mesh or gear/keyway/shaft. All internal to motor. Slop in motor (and boom/dipper) have grown after >35 gal gas hard use. So now having a new...

All good points I don't think anything had been said to be taken personally It isn't apparent to me OP is even feeling targeted much less needing defending - just some debate. Actually more like a standard discussion/ argument of facts rather than even debate Let's just not be overdramatic...

That's the goal to expound thought (and communication) potential with deeper understanding and use of language. Agree. Also agree with industry accepted use of the terms. Servo to describe hydraulic pilot is a fun stretch/reach imo, based on any definitions I've read, but also agree use in that...

Pretty interesting I've always associated servo / servomechanism as having to contain electrical mechanical elements of separation / control (from user and/or from the rest of 'circuit') Personally for myself it was slightly confusing to refer to simple hydraulic pilot controls as 'servos' but...

Whoa hey no offense haha Searching this thread for 'frame bent' only returns a few results with mine towards the earliest. post 1094. pics reveal same frame type/geometry and bend type. details of post reveal the fix. As Dave mentioned yep reinforcement is prob almost a requirement after. FB...

. . . . Yep. And if you look closely at my pics and fix (that initiated the discussion) you'd already have your answer (to share with your facebook friend.) That's the exact same geometry/frame as mine and a 4t chain binder pulled mine right back in. (both at once in my case.) ALSO just my 2...

Very cool I wouldn't have had the exp to begin to try. It does look like it works great, but did it slow the rpm at all (of house)? From the vid I'm guessing it's about 5 or 6 rpm now and I was thinking 8 or 9 might be stock? This swing motor came tight, but sure aint after about 27gal gas...

My exp is DIN 2353 type for em 15 Size is often 14mm (16mm for aux) more info in my post just after yours 1148 Pit, in case you are wanting a hydro thum lmk. I got one in specifically for em 15 - they are different from the others for mounting. I already bought one on ebay earlier for like 400...

Yessir, baltimore cfs. Waiting on a reply now- I paid full payment to the company for DDP with option to ship from warehouse but still had to pay 350 additional to that final warehouse/cfs. A tip to anyone- use a US based importer! Just thankful that was the worst thing but pisses ya off no...

Congrats on the Digger I'm loving mine. And so happy I lucked into it @ auction VS import. Just received first import of parts etc and WOW what a pain even DDP. . . BTW- anyone close to PA / east coast can PM me about local attachments. I just got a few extra specifically from/for em15 like...

Connecting the frame tails / motors with steel member seems like an ok balance of strength/ease/aesthetics/function. I opted not to do that yet. Aesthetics jodieadiar: thanks for the pic of yours - that setup is substantially more stout with the 3 dimensional shape, I wouldn't expect any...

That's funny we both used dollar store cake pans and went with about 350# lol. Little jealous tho cuz I'm assuming they virtually were giving the weights away - mixed scrap would have brought what, less than 10cents at the scrap yard? I spent about 2 bills !!!! Upon melting, no real reason to...
