44 H, hyd lever position ?

souNdguy · Jan 16, 2012

ok.. the hyd lever on the right side.. when not in use.. should it be fore or aft, or?

oh yeah.. teaser pic too.

bad muffler, bad wireing.. don't charge.. rough tires... DOES run, did crawl up on the trailer by itself.

Lever should be in forward postion when not in use. So when do we get to see the rest of it? Looks like good paint from rear.

have to wait till I get to play with her. got a tripple tomorrow, so probably won't get to be unloaded from tyhe trailer to fri morning I imagine.

paint is ok.. appears to be an older restoration.

has some leaks, but overall looks solid.

one break squeeks.. but both work, clutch feels ok.

takes throttle good.

needs a lil choke to stasy running once you start her up.. like low throttle to start.

will need generator or regulator work..

There are three positions for the lever/rod. In the middle position the rod is pulled out and a small tab on the underside of the rod is hooked on the support. This is "hold" position. Hydraulic fluid is held in the cylinder/s and loads are prevented from lowering.
In the pulled all the way back toward the operator, the system is in "lift" position, Fluid is pumped into the cylinder/s while held back.
:lifting the rod against a spring toward the light bar, and pushing it forward is lower position, letting the cylinder go down.
With only that one valve, it is an open center one way hydraulic using only one hose to lift and lower. Sometimes the little flat spring is broken and it can be replaced easily. Jim

thanks!

this machine looks to be in much better condition than my C was.

I've already addressed leaks, and have fluids for changes and filters. will take a look at electrics on friday morning when I unload her.

tires are rough but hold air.

weights are un attached but looks like I have what is needed to hang them.. including a shop crane to lift those succers. they weight mor e than I do..

as always.. thanks for all the help and hand holding.

i'm likeing the red side... machine feels -QUITE- powerfull.. takes throttle good. no smoking.

does like a bit of choke right after start.. but thent he C does as well.

muffler barks good.. is rusted out pipe at base..
