    Before I retired I always began each day (in equipment maintenance) with plan A, Plan B, and plan C. Plan C being what I would do when all else went to Hell. Guess which plan I used the most.........
    Repairing behind a whole crew dictated what headache I went home with. LOL Now I just begin the day with plan C.

    Very fortunate that you aren’t making an insurance claim now. Fire extinguishers are a must. This is nothing more than a bonding process between a man and his machine. At least the old Hitachi isn’t drowning in emissions garbage.

  • @johnr8476
    @johnr8476 5 років тому +1

    I would assume all the hoses are about the same age, need to do what I did with my old 580B case, replace them all. They only break when you are using them, then you are in a big rush to change one at a time plus about 50 or 60 dollars worth of hydraulic oil lost with each hose.

    I blew a hose between the main valve body and the electric valve body while cleaning out a hedge row a quarter mile off of any road. They had to set the weight on the ground to get to it. It was a little over $1,000 for a 1 foot hose.

    Damm this Company that was paving the parking lot at the Fire Dept I worked at had a Hydraulic hose let go and spray the damn screed.Thank God it was on the opposite side of where the Operator and helper that was on the platform, it sprayed those torches, lit off the other operator chair, and just engulfed the ground and the mix they had augered out.Had to fight fire in the parking lot, it lit off other hoses and it was a mess we used almost every Dry Chem we had in the Building on it, that Hydraulic fluid burns good especially under pressure.

    The 45° fitting that is on the short hose the one that has a split flange on it when you energize that hose that fitting moved (perhaps bent the tube) a little bit. The 45° fitting could bend if it’s not supported properly and very well. Keep an eye on it if that short tube the 45° one work hardens it will split//crack.
