OK, steer cylinder was rebuilt, its back on with a new bearing, just needs tightening. Report came back that seals were in poor condition and "possibly" was bypassing. Next job is to replace bush in other side and tighten everything back up. Once its all back together I will be able to see the...

Okay got the left servo ram off and having it tested and re-sealed $115 quote for doing that. Did not want to fool with that particular one as it has the limit stop assembly attached. As for the bearings, walked into surplus bearings, they had them on the shelf $15 a pop so I got two and will...

What a scary piece of equipment that servo is!. I finally got it off and the bearing is as sloppy as hell, will see if i can track one down to replace it. Pintel shafts seem free and solid to move . The servo ram i will have tested to see if it is bypassing by the local hydro shop. from the...

OK back in Brisbane. So my knowledge grows, both the servo rams and move on the brackets and seem only to "twitch" when trying to get reverse. that is the first repair i shall do when time permits next week. I would think if they are by-passing it would fail to travel forwards as well as...

I am away from home right now, but the day before i left I stripped most of the removal panels off the bhb and power washed all the dirt out from the centre section. There was a LOT of dirt in there. What i found so far is the lift / crowd pump has a small leak where the top valve rod goes in...

I desperately need a schematic, I have no clue where to start. without that diagram its going to be impossible to troubleshoot with my limited knowledge of BHB units. Mike PS Open to reasonable suggestions.

Yes its the identical twin of the first one i had. I was so impressed by its performance I went for the same machine. Currently I am doing maintenance on it , I have been using it to level out a 400sqm block of land ready to moving my workshop from the back of the land up to the front. Last week...

The forum would not let me post first time around, anyway.. I sold my BHB Dirt Devil 3 years ago and 2 months ago I corrected that mistake, I now own Fritz II and am a happy man again. If i remember correctly the little sight gauge on the right rear is the only way of checking oil level for the...

So guys, whats a average price for a Dirt Devil, with sand bucket, 3 in one bucket and a backhoe attachment worth to sell? All in average condition.

Hi, indeed I do still have Fritz, I still use him from time to time to move heavy stuff around the yard, and push the JJ richards industrial bin onto the road when the truck arrives. I havent as yet had the nerve to pull the pump off and check it out to see why its still running slow. Real life...

Procured the sheet!!! Twaz eezy, I just accidently washed it with some new colour items while trying to help out!!, voila!!! 1 clean ikky pink sheet for me!!... AND i am told NOT to help with washing... WIN WIN as I see it..

Okaaaaaayyy, So my belief that these toys run exclusively on 68 grade Hydraulic Oil (castrol hyspin AWS68) is incorrect? Good old 10w30 engine oil is sufficient?? Wish I had known that before I spent $528 bucks on 6 20L drums from Lewis Hoses & seals.!!! Wont be fixing the ta1919 for a few week...

Found the spec sheet for Fritz.. this is what it says he runs on:- Trans Pumps is a Vickers TA1919-R-2DR Relief Capsules 344Bar Main pump Voith IPH4 set at 240Bar and Drive motors are SAI MU.300-F-D47's Thats basically it apart from the fact it runs 150 Hydraulic tank which costs a fortune to...

Tazza thats the kinda thing I wanted to hear, that common sence and general mechanical kills was all that is required.... I only mentioned acid bathing as I actually have them, I rebuild carburettors for a living and decarb baths are a nessesity. All good. All I need now is to clean the disaster...
