Apparently I need to go outside of my bookmarks more often. How's the drill rig that wanted its belly scratched, still dead? I'm guessing injection pump timing got fuckered when they pulled the IP (I wouldn't have pulled it either) or possibly just too much poo poo in the combustion chambers for it to fire right, though being a diesel that seems like it would be less of an issue. It always amazes me how much equipment like that gets torn up just doing its job, it's a constant fight just to keep it from wearing out from every surface that touches the world around it. The drill rig that my well driller showed up with to put my drinking water well in was HAGGARD but drat if it didn't get the job done.

That is some precision right there.

Make sure to consider center of mass if you're going to be pushing it outside, nothing more annoying than a bench that tries to turn itself upside down every time you roll it over a crack in the concrete. Even just ratchet strapping a few cement blocks under the lower crossbars should do that fine though

Nice, that's a pretty solid improvement in cycle time. Hydraulics are still kind of black magic to me simply because it is all expensive parts that use interfaces and specs I'm not familiar with (such as hydraulic line threads and fitting dimensions - JIS, ORB, 37 degree AN, 45 degree, din iso bubble flare, metric thread o ring seal on power steering lines, banjo fittings, various quick connects and roll pin retained fittings... gently caress just pick one standard please) and if I don't get it right on the first shot the costs start mounting quickly.

The best part is if you are too lazy to grind your welds smooth, the spoil will do it for you!

Now you just need to add a lathe style auto feed to move right-left and sit back while your earth sodomizer prayer wheel machine does all the work. The welds might not come out as well but that's the price of progress.

At least it happened before they gave it back so they couldn't claim it was you guys ragging on it that caused it. Those energy chains are so cool until you have to gently caress with them at which point it is always a complete shitfest. I've seen ones that clip, screw, and slot together and not one of them is actually any fun to work on once they are severely filthified. How are you gonna get the busted screws out, the usual weld and pray and turn tricks? Seems kind of hard to do with no good way to get a ground clamp on. edit: or are those crossbars in there metal? Almost looks like it.

Abrasive dust works wonders making rubber cut into things. You'd never expect it but apparently my heater core hoses have been rubbing on my valve cover for long enough that it's actually eroded the metal a bit. I'm curious - did you have a local hose shop do all the hoses a few at a time, buy premade from the manufacturer, or just get a hose crimping machine? The sheer number of hoses you've replaced might have paid for a machine all by itself by now.

On the cylinders you hooked up backwards you don't have to replace the hoses again right? They both have the same fitting and both go into the same deck of the massive shuttle valve assembly or whatever and you just swap them? I can wrangle electrons but hydraulics scare the hell out of me and I try not to touch them, but I'd like to learn more. So far my hydraulic-touching has been limited to disassembling things, replacing one hose in a certain area at a time, putting everything back how it was, and hoping I don't do something stupid and get an injection injury.

That sounds like a job for a relay and a few minutes of wiring to invert the signal. Shouldn't be too bad. Edit: make a blind cap that plugs into the remote connector that bypasses the kill signal for you. That way they can't even run it with the connector open and dirt getting in it.

Wow, what a shitfest to get that in and out of there.
