Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180502_14_33_37_Pro_zpsw9uowzmd.jpg

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180502_16_38_09_Pro_zpsjgxxhdry.jpg

...... save doing it again for a while :thumme:

...... plus I got an oak to come down and get the treatment too :grin:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180503_14_59_56_Pro_zpsdei4biy2.jpg

had an hour or two spare, for a tidy up on the patch, after the 'logging campaign' ... :vissla:

try op.ing a duck with this lil' fella on yer lap :grin:

.... only way to be sure of WTF he is ..... :???:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180503_16_16_24_Pro_zps0v25btgk.jpg

he has an annoying habit of appearing either, on the lower chassis, or in front of the wheels, :eek:

so easier to have him on me lap, 'til he exits onto the chassis as I come around ... then it's all stop, find him and take him down the house, out the way :aaargh:

shifted the bags, then relocated the cages out of the way for now, 'til I decide where they're going to live for the winter .... got the drop on disconnecting the bag loops off the lifter from the cab too - speeds things up, on your own !! :grin:

looks a bit more 'organised'/tidier than last week ..... :thumme:

and these can sit here for now ...... must get some vented bags bought, for now, :vissla:

in the absence of any more suitable receptacles - these transferred and the rest bagged up and parked ....... :grin:

ready for some more :smile:

..... or dismantling said oak, that is in need of being on the floor ..... :vissla:

very overcast all day today and threatening rain all day, although it never appeared :vissla:

...... been on the strimmer most of the day, tackling all the bits I can't get a mower at :sad:

..... in anticipation of it actually drying enough over the weekend to get 'the Dane' out and stretch its legs, on the grass beside the drive :thumme:

tomorrow may well be a bit of time in the 'Drema though, :grin:

if it doesn't rain tonight :huh:

.... stockpiling some sh-1-t, ready for relocating ... offsite :thummar:

well the sun has shone on the righteous .... and Druid central today ... :skratta3:

Have had the day to myself :thumme:

.... the boss, Clara and her mum have been out, sort of baby sitting Shem, in Bristol as his mum has been at her sister's 'hen' weekend do there. He won't bottle feed :sad:

and so has to be within relative feeding distance every 4 hrs or so, which makes for an interesting weekend for her. :vissla:

So, whilst conditions were right .... and the ground is relatively dry .... on me patch at least, some 'digging' was had :grin:

...... after I'd made a bit of space to park a stockpile, ready for transfer at a later date.

ripping out the mudstone bed was hard going .... should have sorted me ripper by now .... but haven't !! :sad:

some careful use of my favorite geith saw it peeling up reasonably well, as long as I didn't get greedy :smile:

when Pam's elderly 'farmer brothers' cousins arrived ....... with the boiler out of their Aga....in need of some attention .... bugger!!!! :sad:

three hours later !!!!! :sad:

after performing some minor miracles on paper thin seams, I was relatively confident that I'd got the leak(s) !!!
had to build everything back up, before I could make a secure seam again !! :huh:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180505_17_06_44_Pro_zpssxhnpedi.jpg

I used to make firebox boilers for Agas and Rayburns for a local guy who used to install/modify existing units, many years ago - done dozens of 'em - in 6mm plate.
This bloody thing was a combination of 2mm stainless and 3mm steel .. amazed it had lasted as long as it had ..... and the welding on it was sh1te!!!! :aaargh:

so whilst it cooled off, we had a cuppa, before sticking it back in their pick up, so's they could go rebuild their Aga.
'Twas now gone six and thought I'd better call it a day .... the sound of scraping mudstone was just a tad on the loud side .... and I was ready for me tea !! :eat:

Damned near seven by the time I'd tidied up and put the old girl to bed for the night ....... running out of space quietly !!!! :vissla:

I hadn't finished the last mouthful, when team granny and sproglets returned, exhausted from a long day's play :vissla:

and in need of feeding !!!!

I got left 'holding the baby', in the shape of this lil' fella, :uupps:

whilst they ...

I'm not the most experienced at entertaining six month olds, but 'we' managed :grin:

.... the mogs assumed sentry duty and kept him fascinated, for quite some time .... they're 'canny' lil' creatures .... parked themselves just out of arm's reach :grin:

He's sort of had some semi-solids, as they're trying to wean him .. flatly refused a bottle of his mum's milk ... no way - no how was he having it, at any angle we parked him at :sad:

....... we'd managed to wear him out by nine :thummar:

... been asleep since, but pretty sure that when his mum arrives, any minute now, he is gonna be ready for ........ Oh and here she is .....YAY!!!!! :hurra:

first south westerly we've had in a week .... needed to get some rubbish burnt. :smile:

Interesting bed of rock under the mud stone layer ..... like slabs with joints, from what I see so far ???? :???:

Batter is going to need a bit more 'light attention' once I've got the bulk of it out and been resisting putting the VA-r on all afternoon, due to the rock that needs to be ripped out at the lowest point -- bloody hard!! :uupps:

looks alright (I think) .... for a 3 ft bucket in a concave curve - first pass anyway !!
Little bit of finesse-ing required here and there :grin:

AND .... that oak has gotta have it soon especially whilst the deck is relatively clear :vissla:

I've decided that a VERY regular cut regime is the way to an easier life on the grass front ... as long as it's dry enough to get on it. :vissla:

The lawns look equally 'short' :thummar:

Trying to summon up the enthusiasm to do the bank on the left of the drive .... cutting it's the easy part .... it's the collecting it up's the killer :aaargh:

something different last night.

Neighbour about 1/2 a mile away .... as the crow flies .... two by road, has this ....

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180512_20_25_39_Pro_zps4fogteuw.jpg

Ovlov EC15B ....

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180512_20_03_11_Pro_zpsvnmcngxi.jpg

not had it very long and giving strange issues. Contacted me through a n other forum ..... guy I've not seen in 40 years and we're 1/2 a mile apart !!! LOL

could I possibly lend any assistance with some trouble shooting ... he'd seen me gauges in a thread on there.

Not having seen John in such a long time, was quite a surprise to find he was so close ... so yeh, I was up for a catch up and a shufty. :thumme:

Machine is losing all hydraulics intermittently and if provoked will stall the old girl too ??

After a bit of a catch up after I'd arrived, we got down to the beast ... three Staufs ..... :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180512_19_53_08_Pro%20marked_zpsrewojycc.jpg

A appears to be directly adjacent to the main P line into the chest/block ......
C is on a block which I can only assume is a pressure reducer valve from main to servo pressure - has a P and a T and feeds the servo circuits.
B is a bit of a mystery and looks for all the world like an LS line ??
the pump that's on it though is a gear type, fixed displacement, not a VP, which'd need the LS line to function, so I'm a bit nonplussed as to quite WTF it does?????

Stauf A produces no movement on the gauge - AT ALL - no matter what you try/do/operate .. this is supposed to be where main circuit pressure is measured at ???

Stauf B produces 140 bar when a motion is operated - any motion

Stauf C is showing 25 bar, constantly when the machine is running.

the MRV is missing its seal cap, which is lying under it, in the guts -- yellow thing, under the blue MRV which is under Stauf B and shows signs of having had an allen key in it, but no witness marks in the paint on the lock nut or the body ???

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180512_19_52_09_Pro_zpsa0teictx.jpg

I also discovered that it's been 'gotten at', before John's ownership, by a not so clever chap, who I do not rate at all !! I know him of old -- and his 'work' :sad:

I'm told by a reliable source that MRV should be set at 180 bar and the servo circuit pressure should be 35 bar.
if the MRV has been wound down, I'd see it on the body, devoid of paint on the threads, but it wouldn't then make her stall??

if it's been wound up ( ? ) which is more likely, I'd expect to see a LOT more than the 140 bar I'm seeing at Stauf B.

Any one else have any suggestions/information/knowledge of these beasties ... a hydraulic schematic'd be awesome ...and in particular, what sort of pump is fitted to 'em - FD gear or VD?

the reason I ask about the pump is ...... this one appears to have been off , or perhaps replaced ..... note the bodgery/stilson marks on the hyd fittings and the angle the jubilee is sat at on the feed hose :uupps:

and wondering if the right pump is fitted to the machine ??????? :???:

the mount face looks like it has had a larger pump fitted, previously ?? :???:

Spent most of yesterday evening, after I got back, from John's, proof reading, punctuating and spell checking half of Pam's daughter's dissertation, for her PGCE course she's been doing, this last 12 months, followed by the other half this morning, after I'd un-fried my brain, with a few hours sleep. :thumme:

This lot came home from me workshop .... wasn't leaving it there for their demo boys....I have a use for it and fixtures and fittings weren't included in the sale !!! .. enough there to sort my new shed's requirements ... and some !! :thummar:

the bag lifter makes life so easy for getting them air-borne and exactly how you want them, putting them back down !! :thummar:

Room for another three up there !! :grin:

Just about ! ..... still got more to bag up, apart from those three to re-bag and also lifted out a sided pallet full of blocks, I'd sort of forgotten about :vissla:

..... emptied that one out to give it all an airing .... top and bottom layers were pretty dry, but the centre'll benefit from a few days in the sun. :vissla:

Was going to re-bag the three dumpies this evening but forgot it's early bath night .... we've brought my treatment night forward to Mondays .... had to a few weeks ago, due to not being able to do it one Tuesday and it's a lot more convenient, as Tuesdays are a Clara day and we're both knackered after a ten hour day with the little 'un, so we've stuck with the Monday. :vissla:

Did get a couple of hours in with the bucket earlier though and advanced the batter a few more feet ...... :grin:

running out of room for spoil storage though .... :sad:

Me an Clara are gonna have to have a walk in the morning and inspect yon field access ..... could do with losing several dumper loads, before I can get any further ..... and have a look at an alternate hole for some stone/rubble, in a gateway that's washed out - big time !! Getting to it may prove exciting though :uupps:

That's it for tonight ..... 7.30 kick off with the lil' 'un's arrival, in the morning ... will be a looooong day, as usual :uupps:

According to datasheet it is LoadSensing hydraulics. LS-valve block configured for operation with fixed pump is my guess. Most likely single pump then.
Nixs here on the forum knows these machines.

Thanks Jac .... I now have a 660 page manual for it :grin:

( I have no idea HTF I am going to be able to upload it though Holger - too big for my net - could split it into half a dozen PDFs and you can re-assemble it

)

They do do a VD pump version ....... but also a single stage gear pump version too, as is on there :vissla:

It's either had a VD pump replaced with a (much cheaper) gear unit, or someone has been pissing about with it ... big time!!

Going to reset the MRV on it to 5 bar less than what the pump is putting out and see how it behaves then?

I am of the opinion that the MRV has been wound in so far that the pump can not overcome it and is therefore stalling the motor, unable to dump to tank :vissla:
