Sorry I'm a fark up I'm thinking power pack, it's got a pto pump!!. I'd say the wrapped line marked P is from the PTO pump? Pressure line into valve. Quote
Unclejake Posted October 30, 2024 Author Posted October 30, 2024 Pretty sure (without being certain) the wrapped line marked P is a gravity fed line to fill the black tank from the Hiab tank. There's no other way to get the oil into that black tank. I'll get a photo from a better angle tomorrow 1 Quote

Guess they're hooked up to the diverter switchbox.... and now I am thinking just how handy a Hiab would be! LOL They might just divert the oil though the cooler? Rather than to the tipper ram. I'd say from those pics the tipper ram is on a simple up down valve. The cooler will be on the return side that sees back to tank pressure. Track the feed line off the pto pump and you will work it put pretty quick. Quote

Possible the divertor bolter to that tank returns directly into the tank. everything else i have no idea . thats all spaghetti to me Quote
Hemi Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 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. 1 Quote

rusty360 Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 I guess we will see tomorrow in how to work out hydro issues via pictures! Love it. Quote

Puguhuhuuu You should be able to unscrew the knurled end on the right, slide off the electromagnets, and pull/push the shuttle by hand. I can't remember if they have detents, it could take a bit of a push 2 Quote

Unclejake Posted November 1, 2024 Author Posted November 1, 2024 Good morning everyone. The clean looking valve assembly seems to be hoist up and down control and lots of return lines into the black tank. The tank is a bit over half full The dirty looking valve assembly (inside the chassis) is a diverter that is fed directly from the PTO pressure line. Hoses from that diverter go to places. I'm not entirely sure where yet... but one of them goes to the Hiab Either the diverter or the PTO isn't working as I still can't lift the tray and have no apparent hydraulic pressure at the ram, but I didn't have the correct spanners to crack open the pressure hose from the PTO to the diverter yesterday. I'll try again this afternoon. 2 Quote
Unclejake Posted November 1, 2024 Author Posted November 1, 2024 The PTO doesn't seem to be engaged. I guess a crook cable? Unfortunately it's too hard to get at without jacking the truck up off the ground so it'll need to wait until all the other parts have arrived and can push the truck into the rented shed. I only get the shed for seven days. 1 Quote
Unclejake Posted November 2, 2024 Author Posted November 2, 2024 I'm guessing as the ram retracts it discharges fluid into the black tank via. the spools? If so perhaps I can delete excess failure points and get to this state. Unsure. 2 Quote

rusty360 Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Were does this come from? It's gotta be the pressure feed line via the diverter? Quote
rusty360 Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Those return lines could have been the old filler point to looks maybe a 1inch fitting. Would need a breather there thou. 1 Quote
Unclejake Posted November 2, 2024 Author Posted November 2, 2024 Yes, the hose marked in yellow comes from the diverter. Deleting the four return hoses would give me a filling point, but I will need to have a filler hose as the deck would make it otherwise difficult to add fluid. Good point about the breather. I hadn't thought of that... but I can just drill a hole in whatever I cap the hose with. I need to get the clutch fixed, get a working hiab back in to lower the deck, and then drive the thing into the shed. I'll do that once all the bundy tube arrived (possibly Wednesday). EDIT: Perhaps there's a removable plate in the deck for topping up the hydraulic tank already. I will look on my next visit. My biggest hassle is the diesel gushing over the PTO and grass when I run the engine. It's a PITA and right where I need to work 1 Quote

You just might have to remove the threaded reducer. Just top up oil when the deck is up and leave a bit of space for the ram oil. Quote
