[QUOTE="melli, post: 97748, member: 7164"] Just wanted to update that I managed to get my pressure tester up and running...I bought the gauges and whatnot years ago, but never had a need to check anything...up until recently, when I got a little foaming in tank (usually after a hot run - short cool runs, not a problem). So, I looked at reservoir cap...tore it apart, and it looked good to me. I then pull out diagnostic kit I made up, and the diagnostic coupler doesn't fit into Bobcat's ports. So, after three fails, I got the right one Dixon 1PDF2....(1/4" NPT on backside). Very cool being able to measure pressures...haven't checked everything yet, but so far it looks like joystick pilot pressure and pressure build up valve are good. Well, the latter might be a tad high...will double check that one. The manual has fairly easy to follow instructions to check pretty much everything. The only kit I wish I had was a pump flow tester...but there is no Mcgyvering that one...at least easily and cheaply. Main Relief and Cross-port Relief valves for each function will interest me...
