A Wise Man Once Told Me " IF IT DOSEN'T WORK YOU CAN'T BREAK IT, SO TAKE IT APART AND FIX IT." Having grown up in rural Indiana and living on the same property for over 50 years, I have tackled project's from necessity (or just having fun) which includes, but is not limited to, home remodeling, vehicle restoration's and property management, with a little technical information throne in. I have enjoyed working with my hand's and figuring out the rest. The fundamentals are the same across all mediums it just requires different tools to accomplish the finish product. I hope you enjoy this channel and the journey it captures.
Hi Brad, great video, loads of detail, while you where in there did you notice how the wires for your head lamps was routed, i'm busy maunfacturing a full harness for my 990, which didn't have the front end harness on it when I bought it, so I'm not sure how the wires get passed the radiator, any help would be appreciated. many thanks Barry
Thanks Barry, I watched your video wire harness #4 this morning. The 880 harness/tube is on the left side, the headlight harness is attached to the hood. There is a connection in front of fuel tank, 1 wire from switch 2 wires after connection there in a protective covering I will e-mail some pics of it. Keep up the good work.
Just found this after replacing the dowty on my 880, was told the pumps didnt have repair kits available in Australia so got a new pump which was straight forward but had to then source a 2nd hand plessy gear as the dowty one didnt fit the new pump which comes ex gear and PRV
Before dismantling Brownie for restoration, I ordered various gaskets and seals, 1 of which was a kit for the hydraulic pump. After getting into it, I have the Dowty not Plessey pump, which is what the kit is for. The parts manual show's the "O" ring's for inlet/outlet/PRV to be the same on both pumps. The gears are different by shaft size 1/2 to 7/16 which I didn't realize until now. I use MSP seals here in the US for "O" rings/seals as well as hoses/fittings that's how I purchased the parts for the Dowty pump. My 880 is a 1966, the Dowty had 2 versions early/late the late has 1 "O" ring for PRV and the early had 2. MSP has done a great job with not only with Brownie and the Freeman loader but also other projects I have done. When possible I take the parts in for measure and get a couple "O" rings above and below what it measures, after 50+ years of service they can be difficult to measure. Thanks for the view and comment.
D.B. changed pumps at serial # 540166 on the 880, that puts it somewhere in the 1st quarter? of 1967, I hope the replacement pump works well, mine has been working great.
@@TECH.274 yes mine is #537467, the new pump is working well but doubt it will run for over 7,000 hours as the previous one did but I wont be around for that lol. I still have a little hicuping of the hydraulics under load which indicates potential ram piston oring or other issue. Other than that she's a beauty
Yes, I received the wrong oil filter it's not worth the cost of shipping to return it. The O-ring is a bummer given where the pump is located. We haven't had any issue since the repair. Thanks
Indiana, north of Indianapolis. We had about 3:45 min. of totality everything was quiet for that time, even the dog was looking around like this is weird lol. The inset is a pic from my cell phone. Thanks for watching.
I would have to agree for cars...past 70. 71 and up were garbage. Now a 1970 chevelle 454 LS6 with a 4 speed? Mint. But that was it. The end. Now trucks on the other hand held out strong until the 80s... any of the American trucks from 60s and 70s were some of the most beautiful trucks ever made. I may be partial though due to owning a 79 bronco for what its worth.
I have the same loader control on my 61 ford utility industrial tractor . It has the 720 loader on it and the float works real well in back dragging dirt to level ground with out putting any down pressure on the bucket ,except for the weight of the bucket, or with what ever the bucket has in it also. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this vidio as I was wondering if I could get a rebuild kit for it. Mine is so worn the levers have elongated holes. If you could say where you got your repair kit from it might help alot of other people. Thanks again Warren in Vermont .
That's good to know about the float, I took the valve body/valves in for measure, they are very knowledgeable with o-rings and seals. the valve works great, it was much smoother in operation with no leak. Thanks
Thanks, I did find seals from MSP Seals INC. , Greenfield IN, item # URI 1.000x1.250x0.125 U-CUP, PU BLUE. I recommend having valve/parts measured for seals when possible. Search for a local seal company and take all parts in for measuring. I hope this solves the leak problem thanks again.
Thank you very much. I have the exact same loader except it's on a 3000 Ford not new to mechanic work but new to tractor/hydraulic systems your videos help out Alot 👍💯
