The test rig is on its way to rh1346 in MA. I enclosed instructions to send it to F 22 in GA

I found 2600 RPM adds about 50 PSI over 1000 RPM idle. I also found that warming the engine and hydraulic fluid makes a world of difference as far as being able to lift the front wheels or not, although I didn't measure the pressure difference between cold and hot.

Thanks Spencer!!! We owe you one.

JimFF, send me a PM with your address and I'll send it to you.

Thanks, I sent you my address in a PM. If anyone else wants the setup after I use it, please post your request here so we can see where it will be going.

I received the gage today. Great packing job F-22 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif If no ones speaks up in the next couple of days, it'll be going back to Spencer.

Spencer · Dec 12, 2003

This is the last call for anyone who want to use the gauge. Jim is going to send the gauge back to me if no one replies by Monday.

Also, Bruce (F22) noticed that the pressure gauge had been replaced with one that looked different than the one in my original pictures. Whatever happened to the old gauge doesn't matter. I appreciate someone replacing it with a new one if it got broken. Is there a funny story behind this that anyone would care to share with us?

Once I get the gauge back I doubt I will be sending back out around the country again. So if you think you want to use it, now is the time to speak up.

That's funny. I didn't notice any difference. I used Mrwurm's posts (and pics) as a guideline for installing it.

Jim just sent the gauge assembly back out to me. I'm glad everybody that wanted to - got a chance to use the gauge to test their loaders out.

Spencer:
I have followed this thread from start to finnish. I was way too busy closing my business to borrow your guage. Now I have retired and have nothing but time on my hands and would love to test my loader since it will not lift the front wheels off the ground with down pressure. If your kind offer is still alive, I would love to borrow it!

Spencer · Feb 23, 2004

Boomer33, let see if there is any other interest in the gauge. If at least two or three other people would like to use it then I will send it back out. So if anybody else would like to use the gauge just post a reply.
