WTW - 1/6/2016 11:51 You mentioned in your original post that you tee'd into the pump output line with a gauge and did not get any pressure. That would be more or less expected on an open centre hydraulic system. Did you try steering at the same time to see if pressure would spike up when there is actual load on the system. Yes I did. I never saw the needle twitch on my gauge-but it was a 5000 psi gauge. I wish now that I had tried one of the lower psi gauges. I suppose I could briefly block the fow with a ball valve. I think I would want to be extremely careful fooling with it that way, though. I will need to scrounge around for more fittings, too! |
