I have a 753 with the spool valve leaking on the aux spool. It is leaking from the rear cover plate of the aux valve.. It never leaked until I recently used the aux hyd on a trencher.. These aux hyd seldom get used.. I took the cover off cleaned it up. The funny thing is it leaks...

Check the lower pins and bushings on the bobtach. If you ruin the bushing pockets, you are in trouble.. No good way to fix them.. There is value in keeping those fixed up. Go to allskidsteers and get a kit..

YEs I under stand the geometry issues.. Thats why I am considering a very short mast.. Only goes 80' high.. And common sense will need to be used when on the machine.. I think this applies to most attachments. Many mast have double acting cylinders.. Look at all the mast retro fitted to 3pt...

If you haven't bought the chain yet I would consider trying to move the motor carrier casting to tighten the front chain.. Just a thought.... The motors are lubed by the hyd fluid and the casting that hold the motor has bearings that are lubed by the chain case oil.. This is the shaft with the...

Question.... I am trying to make a forklift mast form my skid-steer.. Just a short mast, so I can lift a few things up and get out of the cab.. Not real tall.. I'm wanting a trucker mast only 80" tall.. The problem is...... The front trigger on the right side latches the aux hyd on.. I can...

Here is a problem.. If i remember correctly you cant do one side front and back with a ten ft box.. Ask about custom length.. If i remember custom length cost more than just buying the boxes.. You have to over buy.. I think mine was something like HkK chain.. I bought mine from red boar chain...

Can I run a single acting hyd. cylinder from the aux hyd.? So it would be a cylinder with only one hyd. line. Gravity would need to return cylinder down. This is a 773G . I would be controlling with the thumb switch. Im pretty sure I know the answer, but need to confirm.

Did you find some mounts? I have some. Im in Indiana.

Thanks for the input. I agree it appears it is made that way.. The travel at the valve is where i first noticed it. I was tracking down slop and noticed the excessive travel.. It is quite noticeable when compared to the other valve. This is at the spool.. If someone thinks of it check there...

I don't want to bet a dead horse , but my rehab is complete, and I still have the same question. I have basically zero slop in the linkage and foot pedal.. The Boom valve requires much more pedal movement distance to get the movement in the boom .. I am referring to the valve at the spool. The...

You will want to make sure the steering arm for activating the aux hyd is firm side to side if you hook these up..It probably has a bolt in it now. You will need to remove the bolt to get the function to work. It is a pain in the butt if you are constantly engaging the aux hyd while driving the...

It is not slop in the linkage. I removed almost all of it. I originally thought it was that. But after removing slop. i noticed it still took alot of foot pedal to move.. After investigating and comparing the two valves i noticed the excessive stroke needed to move the boom. It is only when...

Head from a 773G lift cylinder PN#6806124. Probably the same for an s185,s175.. To cap on hydrualic cylinder.

No thoughts on this? It doesn't seem normal to me.

The valve (spool) for the lift cylinders has to travel out of the valve futher than I would consider normal.. It only does it on the up motion. That would be out for the valve.. I first thought I had play in the linkage, but realized it was just excessive travel in the valve.. What would cause...
