Yeah @sheepers. You're not fooling anyone with those " just like sunlight" lights and extractor fans for "fumes". It's even split so you can have "just planted I mean primed parts and flowering I mean painted parts.

Looked like a stellar weekend! That weather

I just saw that and went . Oh wow

Oh wow, that's cheaper then kao wool lol

*as @RUNAMUCK said it's a ceramic and not fiberglass so doesn't give you the itchies either. I'm not saying snort it. But yeah. I have a hard time getting it where I am. Ends up being easier to import from states via Amazon. Pizza ovens etc use it

I've got kao wool on my KX ATM did that because I pulled mold muffler to pieces and cbf waiting for packing to show up. Packing showed up and tbh I like the look of the kao better. Besides its the insulation in my furnace soo can't be too shite.

Motor sounds Boss as Mr Roman. Can't wait to hear it nnnnNNNNNNEEEEOOooooow

Price and machine are good value for sure. It would just suck buying that thinking your gonna stack dimes in alloy and find out thats not the case.

I'm not a whiz but keep in mind some of those cheaper multi function machines only have dc Tig so are not great for welding alloy.

Yeah better have a spare Chevy badge at the ready just in case

Man i was sure they were sealed but just did a 3 second searched and it looks like a few do have pin like hole in the end of the armature you can put something down. i have come across zero of these in my travels. cant wait to see this working

EDIT! just checked other photos. its the return , that will be your fill i reckon. that makes it awesome to top up fluid. undo a million rusted to shit connectors.

Gosh thats a decent cluster of hoses. whats the fitting underneath that "T" piece upper mid left . is it just a cap, that might be your fill that for some reason has ended up under eveything. Possible the divertor bolter to that tank returns directly into the tank. everything else i have no idea . thats all spaghetti to me

*Edit* now I've seen the deck up I pretty confident while you can't actuate it from the coil end you def can from the other end with that ghetto... I mean sweet return spring set up. At least you can manually activate from there and see what happens

That oil tank and pump assembly is found in tailgate lift assemblies. like im sure i can make a palfinger mark on the tank. not important right now but might help in the future.

I could be 100% wrong, but that is part of the electric spool. its solid and will have an iron core in there , apply power, the coil energizes and pulls the core which is connected/part of the spool. I have zero idea why it has 2 coils though , thats a new one.

Atf would be another good substitute if you're in a pickle

I wouldn't. Not enough actual lubrication properties. Pretty sure the pump would instantly cavitate too

Oh I meant if you had some lying around. Man that's grim

If you just want to test it engine oil will do the trick. I have done this many times on breakdowns with zero I'll effect. That's not the same as saying service you excavator and using engine oil is fine. But if it's cheaper and easier. It's fine

Given there are so many circuits that 100% been fucked with being able to see the control bank would help heaps. Tbh I'd do the above and see what happens and go from there.

Push to break drive so you can engage* PTO needs drive through the gearbox to operate so clutch mist be in the " relaxed" /drive position. I read this and got confused for a sec so clarifying

To play elimination. Red lever engine PTO in neutral, start truck. Sound like you have something working with the thud, this could just be lines pressurising and flailing about could also be trying to do something. The white box would control the main divertor valve. Broom and tipper are powered by the PTO by the sounds and maybe the hiab was* powered by the pump. The pump could also just be and emergency thing/ added later. I would highly doubt the electric pump would be powering the broom itself as that would kill the battery even running in not much time. Would power a hiab just fine though. Back to where I was. Red lever up/ engaged . Truck running in neutral white box switched to hoist and then flick between and up down and see what happens. Perhaps check after each click to see if oil starts being produced somewhere.

It engages the PTO by the looks

If the diverter/ associated spool valve is in the correct position yes.
