Pilot Control Spring Mod

[Jay Flay]

Why not just take apart the spools and replace the original springs with stiffer ones of the same dimensions?

Happy New Year @dfkrug !! Good call. That is actually on my radar. I want to find a parts machine so that I can pull some springs and reverse engineer them.

We built a machine "Compatibility Checker" to help people confirm if the spring mod kits will fit their controls.

Please let me know if your model is missing or if you get an inaccurate response...brand new and a work in progress. Thanks!

I have been working on my new kit spring design the past few months and just started prototype testing. Here is a short video of the new barrel springs running. I am excited to get the new kits into machines.

Preliminary feedback results from prototype testing of my new kit spring design are starting to trickle in...Rippa RS20 track skid loader. Editing some video and will post shortly...

I am a newb at video editing but need to figure it out so I built this video using the prototype testing video my customer sent me during his Rippa RS20 install...a before and after.

A Nuote KCS NS-15 before and after...it is incredible how dead the factory controls are.
