Aug 7-10, 2012: hydraulics...

Last week, I had a chance to tackle my first hydraulic problem on my own. I did have some help along the way, but in the end I was able to fix it. It was a backhoe attachment to a new holland tractor. It was leaking hydraulic oil from the valve body. It turned out to be some bad o-rings. It was really cool to see a hydraulic valve out of the body and put together how it works transferring the fluid flow. I learned a lot this last week and I can't wait for whats next.
