I recently resumed work on the Mini Backhoe I began building nearly ten years ago. To quote what has been said on these pages a number of times, "Life got in the way" and I had to set it aside for a while. Now that I have the time, I'm back at it and the hydraulic aspect of it is what's on the agenda. My knowledge of the rules and precautions related to getting this right without risk to life and limb is elementary at best so I'm here for the wise counsel I'm confident is available on this forum.
I have drawn up a crude diagram of two sets of spool valves, one is a BM40 - four spool and the other a BM30 - three spool. The BM40 will be the first after the pump followed by the BM30 via power beyond. I'll try attaching the diagram and my apologies in advance for the poor quality of the drawing and photography!! Please advise if I am making mistakes.
