Liquid Power

[NJBill]

Hi, My name is Lubey, I come from a very, very, big family. I was delivered to Power Trac, and was assigned to a 422, so my permanent home is in the twelve gallon tank right under the driver's seat. Our duty is to serve the owner at any time without warning, it's kind of like a waiting game. I have to sit and wait until the owner turns the key to start the engine, at that point I have to jump into action immediately, I come rushing out of the tank straight into the filter. ( We have to keep clean at all times) From the filter I go directly to section two of the Variable Volume Pump, and use only the amount needed to drive the wheels when the owner is ready, the rest of me passes through section one of the VV Pump directly into the return side of the tank, for other sections when they need me.

Hang on a while, it's time for a tea break.

NJBILL, What is this post all about. I think PT owners in general are way past a high school education.

You O.K. Bill? Gettin cabin fever are you?

 

[NJBill]

Back again.

Please forgive the numerous breaks which will occur, one of my other tasks at the moment is also as a caregiver, this sits very high on my priority list.

O K, so Lubey, although in motion is actually in a stationary position, waiting in the operating sections, 2, 3, and 4, for the signal from the owner. I would like to interrupt the actual motion as it happens, and stay with section two for informational purposes. there are six (6) exterior ports, and the one interior port we have already mentioned, going into section one.
one 1/2 inch hose from filter to upper RIGHT side
one port on the upper LEFT side feeding the Treadle, and a Bleeder cap
one port on the lower LEFT with a Tee feeding the REAR port of each
REAR Wheel Motor.
one port on the lower RIGHT with a TEE feeding the FRONT port of
each FRONT Wheel Motor.
Two ports on the upper FRONT come from the Treadle, the pressure to
the REAR, or FRONT ports is decided by which peadle you are operating
The small screw at the RIGHT UPPER Corner, could be for equalizing the
pressure, or changing the operating pressure.
My owner says his system appears to be OK, so if it ain't broke, why fix it?

So there you have the wheel system for my 422 in it's entirety. No cooler.

Section three, and section four to follow.

Bye for now.

First my apologies to you, at one point you asked for a layout of the wheel system hydraulics, so I sent you the one that PT put in my "service manual".
That is totally wrong. I drew my own which is being explained in my "High School" meandering, for those who believe everything they see.
Some of our people who are commenting on all weird kinds of ideas, must have skipped over the class on the K I S S system.

Cabin fever gave me time to find out exactly what the so called professionals at Tazewell actually did with the hoses. I found it very enlightening, and I just thought if there were others who never got a High School education, it may help them to remember that 2+2 =4 not 3.96274 or maybe 4.00175 as some geniuses would like to find it.

Cabin fever is a great thing. Allows for plenty of pondering, tinkering and taking stuff apart to see how it works. Please continue.

 

[ldabe]

Yes indeed! Please continue!
Though jj is definitely way ahead of me in his mechanical, electrical, hydraulics (and I am sure many other areas) I for one need all the 'basics' in the K.I.S.S. system.
I did graduate from H.S. and a bit more, but I have always thought that the K.I.S.S. system is by far the best system.
By the way...where are the pics? Each one is suppose to be worth a 'thousand words :~)

So, in the wisdom of MossRoad..."Please continue."

WHAT? You sent me a messed up schematic trying to confused me. I don't believe this. Just kidding.

WHAT? You sent me a messed up schematic trying to confused me. I don't believe this. Just kidding. I am glad you traced out your hydraulic lines. I have been meaning to do that also. I have an early 90's 1445 that even PT dosn't have a complete manual for my unit.
I may have the only model like it. I have the 45hp gas engine with a radiator. All the other stuff is similar.

OH NO!!!! Lubey's owner just ran into a tree and punctured a hole in the hydraulic line. Help me, I'm bleeding all over the ground. Gurgle, gurgle, drip, drip.
