March 4-11,2013: scissor lifts, skid steers and solenoids

This past week I replaced more hoses on a scissor lift, watched Jesse finish the glow plug/ top end repair of a skid steer and learned about applications of electronic solenoids. I ended up finding and learning about a common spot that hydraulic hoses go bad on small scissor lifts. It is on the front drive and steer tires. The hoses flex a lot and tend to crack or split as you can see in the photos. I also learned a little bit more about how solenoids are used In different applications. As you can see in the photo, one solenoid is used as a choke actuator and the other is for spring tension on the throttle cable for low and high speed travel. I also watched Jesse do some head work on a skid steer that had a glow plug rust and brake off in the head so he had to take it out. So nice to hear it fire right up when he was finished! Another great week an on to the next one.
