I used to operate its big brother the 7B. Great machine but a bastard when its bogged as you need two pairs of hands to get it out because there are no foot pedals for the tracks. When you've got the hydraulic pump sorted which might just need filters, i would pull the boom in to its shortest position and move the stick to its power position, tearout force will be massive. To get the Boom cylinders out, stretch the arm out at full reach with the bucket crowded in, knock the boom pins out, start the machine and pull the stick in. The Boom will go up leaving the cylinders behind. Great find.

@hiscifi29862 жыл бұрын
If it has condensed water in the hydraulic oil, it will soon turn to a milky fluid, as the pump mixes it up quickly. This should evaporate after an 8 hour day when the temperature of the oil in the tank gets hot.. My bet when I heard the pump noise ( possible cavitation.?) was that the oil level was low, or the suction filter is blocked. For what you paid for it, it is a bargain. Even if you spend lots on re-bushing the pins, it will still be a bargain. btw... Aren't you in the same country as Cutting Edge Engineering, they could help a lot.

I think there is air in the hydraulic system. I repair harvesters and forwarders and the same sound your machine is doing is when pump is getting air with oil. Try to change hydraulic fluid and change filters if you can get those. Usually I hear this sound when I change hydraulic pump and first minute or so its making same sound. Air Bubbles in the pump is same like if you will put sand in it. It would fuck up the pump so fast. But similar sound can do lot of others things and it might be also normal for this Machine. Hope you will figure it out. Sorry for my bag English and Cheers from Czech republic.

There is a lot of land that is perfectly fertile but is too rugged to even farm sheep. These well used diggers were being used to cut access tracks in order to develop rugged marginal land for agriculture. When they broke down it wasn’t worth the hassle of recovering them, and you couldn’t get a hauler anywhere near it anyway. There is a reason that NZers developed schemes like netting deer from helicopters, as vehicle access to round them up was impossible.

It was lucrative enough for helicopters to become the vehicle of choice. The footage is some of the wildest helicopter flying ever recorded.

They also did a later model called the "Powerslide" where the top of the main boom could moved back and forth on a slide arrangement. Good old machine, looking forward to seeing you look at the hydraulics. The drain/fill plugs are BSPT (British standard pipe thread) they come in taper and parallel versions and are still readily available . HTH. Cheers.
@Nielshaldrup2 жыл бұрын
Small addition to this; the designation 'BSPT' is short for 'British Standard Pipe Taper', not thread. BSPT is probably the most common for water pipes, etc. (at least many places in Europe) to make a conical metal-on-metal seal with a bit of sealant only). This is important since, as you correctly point out, the other version is BSPP which is 'british standard pipe parallel'. The latter is quite commonly used in hydraulics, if they use face seals, bonded seals or something similar to seal off the thread/fitting. You can screw a male BSPT all the way into a female BSPP thread and a male BSPP partially into a BSPT female, both are wrong though. Commonly for both mismatches you don't want to stand next to the connection when it is fully pressurized!

Happy New Year! Wishing you and you wonderful family a Healthy and Happy New Year. Lol, a woman’s perspective… I really enjoyed watching you guys work on this equipment. I’ve worked around JCB equipment. Anyway, it’s really cool to see it back to work. The soil there is beautiful. You’ve got some really nice sandy soil, you can grown some great vegetables 🥗 🥦 🥕, also beautiful surroundings (from what I could see), sweet dog too. New Zealand is really beautiful as far as I’ve seen from your videos. Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your videos.

Loved the Thunderbirds reference and loved seeing the dog (who’s a beauty) tracking the drone. Fun episode and can hardly believe he gets a running machine for around 2000 all in.

I personally think it could do with a set of injectors an as for that hydraulic whine , my ears tell me the pump is being starved for oil so changing filters and cleaning the return screen would be in order but also look for a collapsed hose feeding the pump. Old machines often have old hoses so who knows what all might happen to them.

Sounds like every old Ford pickup from the 70s I rescued in the 90s when the mobile crusher showed up on the island I was living on at the time. A lot of them used the power steering pump to power a bed mounted winch for pulling nets on the beach so they definitely got a workout.
