JD 410 Backhoe Accumulator

jkk04 · Jul 6, 2009

Hi, Members!
I have JD 410 backhoe. It has an accumulator connecting to the power steering hydraulic valve.
My question is what function on accumulator is.
If the accumulator is not charged properly, what kind problem will be occurring?
Thank you
John

THE accumulator is a gas-filled shock absorber, it absorbes pressure shocks and spikes. It should hold system oil pressure for a while, enough to help you steer, should the engine/hydraulic pump fail.

Brother bought a 510 and had to split it to work on the clutch. Son and I took it to the pasture to check it out and play with it after he got it back together. Everything seemed ok but he killed it going up a hill going back to the house. Apparently the accumulator was not working. No steering,brakes immediately. Lucky I was standing beside him and thought to let the hoe down and stopped us. He fixed it after that and sold it again.
